What error are you encountering when you try to create the index?  Please also share information on your setup - are you on a dedicated server, and do you have MySQL root access?

Using MySQL full-text index will definitely help if you are doing keyword searches.   Just note that there is also a limit to it's scalability.  It's good if MySQL is still able to cache the index in memory, but if not, performance may still be unsatisfactory.  Suggest you also consider 3rd-party engines like Sphinx (see http://sphinxsearch.com/.) - that of course assumes you have control over your servers.
