As far as I'm aware, the only full text indexing available for pg is
tsearch2 (which hasn't been updated since 2003). To install tsearch
requires the user to compile from source which is not a real friendly
way to distribute an application. I really wanted to get it going and
it took me a long time - I can't realistically expect an end user
looking for a demo to go through that pain. I give NySQL credit where
due, they make very nice installers.
I think if there was a complete installer for pg with tsearch2
included I'd still be using pg. For those who don't need full text
indexing, pg is probably a fair choice.

feel a lot more comfortable with MySQL in that regard.
Try pgAdmin III

That's what I do use but I don't think it's anywhere near as nice as
the MySQL AB administrator/browser applications or the many shareware/
freeware alternatives for MySQL (CocoaMySQL, YourSQL Navicat etc)
