I'm testing how GIN scales.
Have a look at http://www.sigaev.ru/cvsweb/cvsweb.cgi/ftsbench/ - utility is
specially developed for measuring performance of full-text solutions ( now it
supports PgSQL( GiST, GIN ) and MySQL ). Right now I'm searching good query
statistic for simulate load, but this data is a closed information in
internet-wide search engines :(
? I thought GIN is superior than tsearch2.
From your GIN proposal posted to pgsql-hackers:
"The primary goal of the Gin index is a scalable full text search in
PostgreSQL"
GIN itself is a just a tool for speedup searches, linguistic part is still in
tsearch2.
It's possible to use tsearch2 without any indexes at all. GiST and GIN is a way
to speedup searches.
Of course, you can develop another framework for full text search and framework
may use GIN as it wish :)
