personally, I like supporting software that makes use of PostgreSQL, and
offering both suggestions and patches on how to improve performance of
said software ... *shrug*  UDMsearch is reasonably fast for single word
searches, but their methods of doing multiword sucks, but that is based on
their MySQL roots, as subselects, I've found, would cut down query times
on multi-word search by 1/3 in some cases ...

The problem, as with most projects, is finding the time to implement the
theory ...
