Efficiency of my select statement

Which is preferred for efficiency, as I need to search for term ie. boxes in all fields outlined below:

SELECT Title,Description,Program,Producers,Format,Date_Made FROM table1
WHERE id='boxes' OR Program like '%boxes%' OR Title like '%boxes%' OR Producers like '%boxes%' OR Key_Words like '%boxes%'
UNION
SELECT Title,Description,Program,Producers,Format,Date_Made FROM table1
WHERE MATCH(Description) AGAINST('boxes');

or

SELECT Title,Description,Program,Producers,Format,Date_Made FROM table1
WHERE id='boxes' OR Program like '%boxes%' OR Title like '%boxes%' OR Producers like '%boxes%' OR Key_Words like '%boxes%'
AND MATCH(Description) AGAINST ('boxes');

or is there another way altogether i should be looking at this?

Note: Description is the only column defined with a Fulltext index;
