using mysql to search strings containing a given substring

I am creating a server indexing files in my local area network, in
order to provide a searching feature.
So i want to make it possible to search such rows where the 'name'
(VARCHAR) column contains a substring submitted by user.
Can i use a full-text index to make it faster? from my first sight i
noticed that this index can be used to search for words in a string. So
the example below would not go any way:
searching 'cool' in 'uncoolness'
Am i right? Are there any other solutions? Maby some other databases
provide this use case?
thx
