Hi Bill,

It's probably a good idea to join the OpenFTS (openfts.sf.net) mailing
list and ask there too:

http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/openfts-general

Haven't personally use OpenFTS, though at least two of the main
developers of OpenFTS, Oleg Bartunov and Teodor Sigaev, have been active
contributors to PostgreSQL over the years so it probably integrates
pretty well.

Hope this helps.

:-)

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift
