This still does a sequential rather that indexed scan:
explain select * from books_fti where exists
(select R1684.stockno from R1684,books_fti where
R1684.stockno=books_fti.stockno );
Result (cost=79300.27 rows=0 width=0)
InitPlan
-> Nested Loop (cost=2093.00 rows=1024706 width=24)
-> Seq Scan on r1684 (cost=43.00 rows=1000 width=12)
-> Index Scan using allbooks_isbn on books_fti (cost=2.05
rows=1024705 width=12)
-> Seq Scan on books_fti (cost=79300.27 rows=1024705 width=160)
