Yes.

Oh. ...

In case anybody finds these archived, it's OpenFTS:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openfts/

Perhaps my question should be "What's the best full-text-index solution?"

Too open-ended?

PostgreSQL 7.1.3 (upgrading is not out of the question, but...)
~20,000 text articles scanned with OCR from _The Bulletin of the Atomic
Scientists_ (the Doomsday Clock folks)
Average text length: 9635 characters
Max text length: 278227
Only 2000 of the texts are null or '', and those are probably "buglets"

Any other pertinent facts needed?
