My suggestion would be to try a content management system like Drupal
(http://drupal.org). It supports both MySQL and PostgreSQL, so you
could design a system that works with both databases and choose the
one that best fits your requirements. It has lots of powerful
features and a nice modular architecture which makes it easy to
extend and customize.
See the link below for some information about installing Drupal with
PostgreSQL and some early discussion about integrating tsearch2 into
Drupal.
