Hi Bill,

It's probably a good idea to join the OpenFTS (openfts.sf.net) mailing 
list and ask there too:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openfts-general

Haven't personally use OpenFTS, though at least two of the main 
developers of OpenFTS, Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, have been active 
contributors to PostgreSQL over the years so it probably integrates 
pretty well.

Hope this helps.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
