I kind of assumed the natural client for KNN-gist was the tsearch full
text search indexes handling sorting by relevance. For example if I
search for "Postgres DBA" I should find documents where those words
appear adjacent first and documents where the two words appear far
apart in the document sorted further down. Is that not on the list of
operators supported or planned to be supported?
