There is a library under the contrib directory of the source distribution
for full-text indexing. It's fairly easy to set up, just read the
instructions in teh README. As we were discussing earlier, if you're
doing lots of text, make sure you cluster your indexes.

AFAIK, the indexing isn't language dependent, since it just parses text
fields and makes separate tables for the indexes. Don't see why it
couldn't be used for different langauges.
