can Postgresql do full text based searches efficiently ?

1 New Member
Hello,

I am not a Postgresql user (yet). I need a database that can do what all sql databases do, index data but, I also need that database to index plain text documents for text searches.

I know that Postgresql is a very capable sql database but, even after doing some research, I am unclear as to whether or not it would be well suited to do full text searches on documents.

I am here to ask those who use Postgresql how are its capabilities in that area ? are they good ? fair ? none ?... if it is isn't a built-in feature (I'm under the impression it isn't), is there an add-on to Postgresql that would add that feature and if so, how good is it ?

Any additional comments you may feel pertinent to the objective are most welcome.

Thank you.
