Thanks for the response. I forgot to jump back into this thread to report that I resolved the issue. I had to run the query you mentioned, and one other one to get FULLTEXT to work correctly on my site. For some reason the whole time I was running v3.6.x I've been using vBulletin's internal search... After migrating to 3.6.8, apparently FULLTEXT search is default, so naturally if my database wasn't prepped for FULLTEXT... well it wouldn't work :-)
It's all good now. I see a change in speed and hope to benefit from this change even more as time goes on.
