This tutorial will try to show how easy it is to replace SQL
constructs that use C<< where column like '%something%' >>
with external full-text index using
-L.
+L.
+In less then 10 minutes from installation to fill-text search-able table
+(speed may vary somewhat, but it's really fast).
+
+=head2 Installation
+
+ $ sudo apt-get install postgresql-8.1 postgresql-server-dev-8.1 \
+ libdbd-pg-perl
+ $ sudo cpan Search::Estraier
+
+=head2 Compilation
+
+ $ cd pgestraier
+ $ sudo make install
+
+This will just install library at right place without running tests or examples.
+
+=head2 Creating full-text index
+
+Let's assume you have database called C in which you have table
+C which has fields title, lead, content, keywords and source which
+should be search-able.
+
+You will have to do:
+
+ $ ./bin/pgest-index.pl content --create news > search.sql
+
+That's it. Really. You will even get example SQL query to shoehorn into
+your application.
+
+You can now connect to database using psql, edit search string in
+C and try your new full-text index.
+
+However, you will notice that we indexed B field in table news,
+which is wasteful (because other fields are ids of various things,
+booleans and fields which aren't interesting for full-text search).
+
+So, we can do better:
+
+ $ ./bin/pgest-index.pl content --create news \
+ --sql="select id,title,lead,content,keywords from news"
+
+We added custom SQL query which will be used to produce full-text index and
+triggers so that we touch only columns in which we are really interested.
+
+This time around that it! Enjoy.
