Hi,

Does someone have a success story of using Postgres Full Search Capability
with significant data, lets say > 50-100 GB ?

Any pointers would be much appreciated

Thanks
Frank

This is a recent and very complete article on using Postgres for
full-text search:

http://blog.lostpropertyhq.com/postgres-full-text-search-is-good-enough/

see also the discussion here:

That should give you a good sense of the abilities and limitations vs
using Lucene etc.

On scanning that article I don't see any mention of size, but you could
always ask the author!
