Rails full text search appropriateness for "standard" queries

Question

Gems such as Ransack make it easy to search models, but obviously do not work so well for full text fields such as descriptions or comments, so I have been thinking of using pg_search for all my searching (don't want to mix and match search solutions if possible) against any text field (names, descriptions, comments etc) and always doing full text searches as I can then search against any text field and get better results. Are there any problems with using full text search in such a manner?

Answer 1

OK months later when I have actually used full text, I can safely say you use full text when searching through unstructured text, and SQL LIKE for everything else!
