alternatives to fulltext?

I find mysql's fulltext feature to be great for a quick & dirty search
solution, but it gives me seemingly inconsistent/unexpected results on
data sets with ~2,000,000+ rows.

is anyone aware of an alternative sql search engine preferably with a
PHP interface? basically, I want to implement a google-like boolean
search feature for my database. There are several great site or
document search engines such as mnogosearch or htdig, but I havnt been
able to find anyhting that can index/search the tables directly.

thanks for any suggestions
