I am trying to get the best of both worlds. A good relational database
system as well as being able to do text searches in mutiple fields.

How fast is PostgreSQL at searching for text. Should I, as Dustin Sallings
wrote look for a different relational database system ? I like PostgreSQL's
features especially free source code, so I can run it on different
platforms (Sparc,PPC,i486 etc.) Is there a more suitable free system
available ?
