Full Text Search primer?

database, full-text-search, indexing

Solution

For understanding full text search from the bottom up, I recommend "Managing Gigabytes".

Problem

Can anybody recommend a good book(s)/paper(s)/article(s) on Full Text Search (and maybe indexing in general). I'm pretty anal about having to understand what's happening behind the scenes in my applications, and I'm having trouble understanding why Sphinx and other external FTS's leaves MySQL/MyISAM in the dust.
