Ranking is hard. You SHOULD lean on the tools available in Lucene/Solr/ES. PG's ranking tools are a joke in comparison.

That simply isn't true.
- pauloxnet 9y agoI don't the sense of the article is that PG FTS is better than ES , but in some situation, as the one I illustrated in my article, you can implement a the same search function with both of them, but with if have PG already in your stack configuring and using it with Django is very simple and convenient.
