im wondering is there a better db than mysql for perfoming queries to
search textfields for the occurence of a string value? for example does
oracle have greater functionality is this regard?

This would be better asked on a database newsgroup, it's offtopic here.

Yes, Oracle does have more powerful fulltext searching - look up Oracle Text.
Of course, you pay a little more for Oracle.

Not necessarily. OracleXE is free as in free beer. It depends no the size
of your database. In this case size does matter.

The OP didn't specify the amount of data, but yes I'd forgotten about XE.

MS SQLServer is quite good. It does full text indexing.
