Go to a search engine like lycos, alltheweb, or altavista. This is the
type of search capability I want to use in Postgres. I have it working
as a stand-alone daemon, it is fast and produces very relevant results.
I just thought that this sort of functionality would be a big plus if I
could tie it down deep in Postgres.

The big advantage to the code is high relevance, boolean operations, and
very very high speed operation. If I could get easy Postgres record
selection out of it, it would rock.
