Re: Fulltext - multiple single column indexes

Thanks, this works quite fine, but I've ran into some problems so far:
- It's not possible to specify more than 4 labels (just ABCD)
- In query I have to specify searched vectors for each lexem. I think It
would be better to specify searched vectors per-query.
