Re: contextual search

If you use this and have a decent amount of text to index, be prepared to
spend a few days.. I had about 2000 files of Text (varying size) -- it
turned out to be about 600 megs, 33 million rows in the indexed column...
Creating indexes on that and VACUUM 'ing takes hours -- literally.   :-)

Towards the end of the README it describes several ways of clustering your
tables on the disk. Use method two if you have the disk space, it's much
faster than CLUSTER!

Good luck!
