I love the new Full Text Search

Is this not one of the most useful things ever?! I have a large library, and it took a long time to finish and that index file is really large, but MAN! Totally worth it! Search capability has been improved massively now! I just have to think of anything vaguely related to whatever I am looking for and BAM! Found! I've tried doing this sort of thing in the past at various times using obscure, crash-prone indexer programs on Windows and Linux, but this works way better than those did, no crashes during process, and it seems to have indexed all the various formats.

It is like a dream come true, really.

The ability to explore the library with such great capabilities like the NEAR operator makes it amazingly easy to find what one is looking for, either for leisure or studies, and often brings about pleasant discoveries. I just FTS'ed "serendipities", while writing this post, by the way.

It feels good to see how worth it was to hoard all these gigabytes of human knowledge and creativity, for more than 10 years... lol xD
