We're about to release brand new contrib module which is
actually is a first step of integration of OpenFTS to postgres.
Preliminary numbers are rather impressive -

zen:~/app/pgsql/GiST/tsearch_index$ time psql-dev apod -c \
 "select title from titles where titleidx @@ 'gist&patch';" > /dev/null

real    0m0.070s
user    0m0.010s
sys     0m0.000s


Table 'titles' contains 377905 titles from various mailing lists we
accumulate in our mailware projects.

apod=# select count(*) from titles;
 count
--------
 377905
(1 row)

This contrib is based on our GiST development and will work only with
7.2.

We need maximum a week to finish, test, benchmark and document.

	Regards,
		Oleg

do we're in time to catch 7.2 Beta ?

It is my understanding we can add things to /contrib even during beta,
right?  We are certainly more lax with beta than with the main backend
tree.  /contrib does get compiled so it does need to compile cleanly.

The rules for contrib are laxer, for sure.

I'd suggest that you concentrate on making some documentation now, so
that you can send in a complete package before we go beta.  Then worry
about fixing bugs and benchmarking during beta ;-)

Ah, the old get it in and fix during beta.  I love it.  I have used the
strategy many times, and was only caught a few.  :-)

Re: do we're in time to catch 7.2 Beta ?

Yup, not a crucial component of the base system ... once we start to get
into the 'release candidate' mode, then it is kinda frowned upon, but
early beta, no probs ...
