You could use full-text indexing and the match function in MariaDB and expose it to Appian in a view or stored procedure.

Depending on what level of searching is required and exactly what it is you want to search on you could integrate with something like ElasticSearch, which is designed to index a wide range of data sources, scales and performs at an Enterprise Level and offers Fuzzy Query capability.

I used Apache Solr at a client with huge success. It is a ready-to-use search appliance that, depending on your environment and requirements, can easily be used with Appian.
