I tried using Postgres 9.4 full-text search for my forum, but ran into some "column wider than full-text index" error (don't remember the exact issue). Wasn't running into any of these: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/textsearch-limitat...

Googling the error lead me to a mailing list where someone was "working on it" or "going to revert the problem soon".

Ended up using AWS CloudSearch which costs a minimum of $50/mo where I was already paying for Postgres.
