I remember when I ran into that first issue on my forum, I felt like I was the first person to ever use Postgres full-text search. (8?) Years ago, googling the exact error brought up nothing except some dev email/listserv chatter. Nobody else was indexing longer text documents? Wasn't very encouraging.

Oh well. The vast majority of forum posts don't hit that limit so I just excluded the exceptionally long posts from the index. I never revisited it again.
