I chose to use a 3rd party product (Verity) for full text indexing even
though I would prefer to use PostgreSQL for fti.
It's probably cheaper to buy a indexing server, than to develop a new
one.
I use Cold Fusion and it has Verity full text indexing built in, so it
was the most natural choice for me.
