BM25 is definitely a big deal when you're doing FTS. It's one of the reasons I've switched to Arango as my DB for the project I'm working on that needs FTS. The fact it also comes with graphs means I don't need to bang my head against CTEs either.

Not saying Arango can replace Postgres but for my needs, it's a much better fit AND it offers the FTS that I need out of the box.

Arango is sweet! We've actually talked to many people who switched from Postgres to Arango because of its better FTS. This was one of the reasons for creating ParadeDB in the first place. Many of the users who made this switch wished they could have stayed in Postgres without compromising on FTS.
