No.  That fulltext indexing is only on MyISAM tables, which are not used
in RT because they lack transaction isolation.  RT 4 only supports
fulltext indexing on mysql using the external Sphinx engine, until
InnoDB fulltext indexing is integrated into mysql.
  There is ongoing work on this support (see [1], [2]) but it isn't in a
released version yet.
