Re: PostgreSQL search engine (Perl)

You certainly need openfts ( openfts.sourceforge.net ) which is based
on contrib/tsearch module. tsearch is our step to integrate openfts search
engine into postgresql. I'd recommend download openfts from CVS -
it's stable and better than last official release. The only thing
we need is to add some documentation. Also I've finished web crawler
for personal site and cgi search script. But didn't commited yet to CVS.
The problem is lack of time. Sorry
