I'm at least as interested in quality of results as I am in performance; full-text search is not something where there is an obvious single correct algorithm, and is something where results are going to vary between products (and depending on how they are configured, and what configuration options are available). This is a lot harder to evaluate and compare because it's so not-black-and-white, but... I don't think most people are choosing a full-text search option based on latency alone, are they? While some products may have unsatisfactory latency, most popular products probably do okay, and once you have good enough latency, the issue is results quality. Getting an overview of pg's fts capabilities, and a list of other products with similar, is I guess a useful starting point. But the article's focus on performance is not too useful to me; are there really an audience of people choosing an fts solution based mostly on performance? I want to know if pg can provide good enough results compared to fulltext-search-focused products -- it's true it's less clear how to measure that, and may depend on your exact situation. Which is why I'd be interested in reading from someone who has something to say on it!
