Switching indexing types?

I am still a novice when it comes to MySQL and I was wondering if switching
the indexing from INDEX to a FULLTEXT would have any dramatic
repercussions on current searches based on the the INDEX format?

I have 3 indexed fields: unit_id, customer_id, facility_id all in one
table called units. I would like to do text searches unit ids but
also account for user mistakes, like incomplete unit ids and return
all possible matches.

Doing some research on the MySQL site, they have lots of examples
based on FULLTEXT indexed fields.

Thanks,
Matt
