This message just showed up on the postgresql mailing list. Enjoy. 
I'm about to announce a release of OpenFTS search engine.

Short blurb:

  OpenFTS (Open Source Full Text Search engine)
  is an advanced PostgreSQL-based search engine
  that provides online indexing of data and relevance
  ranking for database searching. Close integration
  with database allows use of metadata to restrict
  search results.

This is actually what we use at fts.postgresql.org and
several other sites. Perl version is available for download,
TCL version (with AOL server support) will be available soon -
actually it just needs to wrap a release.

The OpenFTS project web site - http://openfts.sourceforge.net/

OpenFTS team:
  Oleg Bartunov       - Project Manager
  Teodor Sigaev       - Principal Developer
  Daniel Wickstrom    - Developer of TCL Version
  Neophytos Demetriou - Documentation Writer

You'll notice that two of those folks are our OpenACS team members who've been working on the "Russian Solution" ... it is one and the same.

Neophytos already has it limping along with OpenACS and expects to release a preliminary version in a couple of weeks.

There has got to be a better way for the bboard module to handle HTML tags.
