Thanks the suggestion. I played with Metabase a bit today. It is great for custom dashboards, searchable query links etc. but, I could not find a interface element that would let me "full text search" a column in Postgres table..

Do you have ideas?

You can use custom queries in metabase and parameterize them, for any parameter you can expose the parameter with a text field available when you embed the "question" anywhere.

The link was very helpful to learn about making use of FTS in Postgres. Thanks!

I still could not figure out how to expose a filter as a user modifiable dynamic search box/text field with Metabase. I could not find such a facility in their documentation, nor in their forums. I'm giving up on Metabase for this need.
