You might take a look at tsearch2 on postgresql (for a shared host solution). IIRC, it only requires special indexes in the database, but no daemon process (like e.g. sphinx does). This was mentioned higher up in this thread too, by Ericson Smith. I did some experiments with tsearch2 and it worked OK (but then I switched to sphinx, mainly because MySQL is more common as a Rails back-end and because a clean and full plug-in (Ultrasphinx) was available). In older versions of Postgresql it is a plug-in, since 8.2 (IIRC) it is built-in by default.
