FYI, MySQL 5.6 has still not hit general availability (GA), and is hence
still a development release.

No.  That index is specific to the Sphinx indexer, and will do nothing
useful to interact with MySQL 5.6.

RT does not have support for MySQL 5.6's fulltext search; we're looking
forward to it hitting GA, at which point we'll look into implementing
support for it.  But as of now, 5.0 or 5.1 with Sphinx is the only
solution on MySQL.
