Alex,
what text you're indexing ? I don't believe you have meaningful
very long words ( > 2047 characters).
Do you really need multicolumn index ?
I'd recommend to separate problem - create column fts for
tsvector('english',full_listing), create index on it and try full-text
query. The way you're doing imply calling to_tsvector every time you
search, which can be very costly.
