I'm coming up to a large segment of work where we'll adding search with elasticsearch and this was the assessment I came to after reviewing PG FTS. I would say, frankly, that if you already have a PG database and 1. you want better full text search than a non-existing solution. 2. you don't need the excellent searching like we've come to expect from search engines. then use the full text search feature your PG database already has. I wouldn't necessarily go out of my way to use a PG database for FTS but I think its a good solution when you're in the right position to use it and its not too shabby.
