gollark: It's not a condition, it's an extra row on the output, and I can see exactly what it does via `EXPLAIN ANALYZE`.
gollark: Maybe I need a better full text search backend?!
gollark: This is apioform.
gollark: So it works in about 30ms - perfectly okay - *without* the ts_headline, but takes about 30 seconds *with* it.
