Caml query with rich text field

Question

Hi All
I have to search a list and display the results based on key words or a line of text from "Title" or "Body" fields i have written my query as follows but some  times even if the sentence is present in the Body field its not returning
the result because body is stored as html .Is there any way to get the results . i have seen posts where they are doing a for-each and stripping the html using regular expression and check for contains . i don't want to use for-each as it will have performance
impact in my case in future as the list will have huge number of records .
 return string.Format(@"<Where><Or><Contains><FieldRef Name='Title' /><Value Type='Text'>{0}</Value></Contains><Contains><FieldRef Name='Body' /><Value Type='Note'>{0}</Value></Contains></Or></Where>  <OrderBy>  <FieldRef Name='{1}' Ascending='{2}' /></OrderBy>",  text, orderBy, sorting);

Hi,
We can use this:
<Where>
<Or>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name="Title" />
<Value Type="Text">{0}</Value>
</Contains>
<Contains>
<FieldRef Name="Body" />
<Value Type="Note">{1}</Value>
</Contains>
</Or>
</Where>
