I haven't worked with GiST, although I have been curious from time to time. Just never had the time to sit, read, and try out the GiST system.
On my text search system (FTSS) I use functions that return sets of data. It make be easier to implement that than a GiST. Basically, I create a unique ID index on a table of data. Create my external index. When a search is done, I return a set of unique IDs and ranks. > > I believe that this is what Oleg et al tap into with the tsearch2 stuff, > no?
