Indexed searching on MySQL with Sphinx, Postgres, and Oracle, is an
enhancement in 4.0.  If you wish to have non-indexed content searching
in 4.0 (as 3.8 and below have), you will need to explicitly enable it in
your RT_SiteConfig; 4.0 defaults it to off.  See the %FullTextSearch
documentation in RT_Config.pm.

Not currently.  There are community-created tools that attempt it, and
we've been working with a few clients on a more robust solution; we
expect that it will ship with RT 4.2.
