gollark: You can use an external content FTS table, bee apio bee apio bee apio bee.

gollark: If you use FTS with the usual tokenizer thing it has nice features like stemming and deunicodeizing and actual word tokenization.

gollark: If you use the experimental trigram tokenizer with FTS, it will match efficiently using magic.
