not sure. We concentrate our efforts, well, Teodor is working on
better configurability of tsearch like OpenFTS does.

It's not difficult to add rather naive relevance based on position
of lexem in document, for example. The question is do you like such
kind of relevancy ? Real ranking support (as in OpenFTS) require
separate tables to maintain coordinate information.
We want to keep tsearch as simple as it's and now we just add
better and friendly configurability. Do we need complicate tsearch ?
We already have OpenFTS which has most features people requested.
