Full text search

Hi Sameer,

There are two ways of doing full text indexing in pgsql.

1. Use the contrib/fulltextindex module. This is fairly simple in 7.1.3
and the docs explain how to use it. If you want to nidex muliple columns,
I suggest getting the fulltextindex module from CVS HEAD. It will compile
against 7.1.x, but now 7.0.x.

2. Use OpenFTS. Check out www.openfts.org (I think) or search the maling
list archives for openfts

Cheers,

Chris

OpenFTS seems to be very very good, offering lots of juicy features,
including interfaces to other languages.

Hi Sameer,

It's documented really in two places:

1. In the contrib/README for docs regarding to all contribs

2. In the contrib/fulltextindex/README.fti for docs regarding to fti

I suggest you might want to read/install the fulltextindex module from CVS
as it's had its documentation greatly upgraded.
