Hi all,

I hope someone can help/suggest:
I'm currently maintaining a project that uses Apache Solr /Lucene. To be
honest, I wold like to replace Solr with Postgre Full Text Search. However,
there is a huge amount of documents involved - arround 200GB. Wondering, can
Postgre handle this efficiently?
Does anyone have specific experience, and what should the infrastructure look
like?

P.S. Not to be confused, the Sol works just fine, i just wanted to eliminate
one component from the whole system (if Full text search can replace Solr at
all)

I see you've gotten some answers but wanted to chime in...
We seach in ~15mill. emails and ~10 mill documents (extracted text from
Word/PDF etc. using Java-tools), and use PG and FTS (gin, not rum) for the
exact same reasons as Evergreen (it seems). We have to mix FTS with
domain-specific logic/filtering and that is based on relational data in the
database. I don't see how we could have done that using an external
search-engine. Maybe it's easy, I don't have any experience with it.
