Where to find information about implementing full-text-search

From
"Gellert, Andre"
Date:
Hello,
we upgraded our PostgreSQL from 7.2 to 7.4, because we want to use the
enhanced full-text searches,
which should be build in now.
I can't find any informations how to implement an optimized search in the
docs ....
Today the search feels like  " fieldvarchar30 ~* '^VALUESTRING.*' " ,
is the full text search based on special indizes, a special table type or
whatever ?

A link to start search would be fine,
bye,
Andre Gellert
