On one of my Typo3 installations I found an unusually large InnoDB file (Typo3's indexed_search being the culprit).
dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/adding-and-removing.html is a bit more complex. Instead of mysqldump (step 1 per documentation) I ran this SQL statement, following Nickolay Pelov's suggestion.
Here are the SQL statements I used to create the scripts to shrink this file:
use information_schema;

The Typo3 extension tt_news is causing problems with indexed_search. The table index_rel grows quickly to an enormous size, 28 million rows on one of my sites. This caused two problems:
- the nightly backups took a lot of time, the automated restore on the standby machine wouldn't even finish anymore.
- Typo3 search generated huge SQL queries that would bring down the MySQL server.
There is a lot of content on this site, but nowhere near 28 million "items" (whatever is in index_rel I do not know).
