http://openftx.sourceforge.net/

for myself, i just read the README and it showed how to ALTER TABLE your
existing table to add another column with txtidx type. then you can do an
UPDATE table SET newcolidx=txt2txtidx(oldtxtcol);

and use triggers etc for future updates or inserts.

i'm amazed how fast it is. there is no phrase or such though. but it works
very well as is. i think openftx also does something with relevancy
ranking etc.
