their forum on sf seems inactive, so i ask in this group to see if
anyone know the status

Q. is OpenFTS dead ? or the current beta is alreay mature enough to be
used in production?

FTS will get more and more important for a DBMS system, i think pgsql
should also consider improving this, isn't?

I believe a very common FTS solution used with PostgreSQL is
tsearch2, which is included in contrib/. Have you looked at tsearch2?
Does it meet your needs?

OpenFTS sits on top of Tsearch2. All it is is some high level apis
(perl/python) to create a search engine using PostgreSQL and Tsearch2.

Thanks for the clarification, Joshua. In response to the OT's
question, do you know if OpenFTS is still an active project?
