Fulltext system can be very simple, or it can be very complex.
Because many potential features have impact on performance,
it is better to implement only those features people actually need.
But so far every discussion ended before it even started,
i.e. whenever I ask about requirements, nobody bother to just reply,
so my understanding is that nobody seriously want/need fulltext search.
