Queries of this type will be evaluated by sequential scans, because
all nodes need to be accessed anyway. You can check the query info to
see if the index will be utilized.

This one will only give you results from the index (The documentation
says: »Returns all text nodes from the full-text index of the database
$db that contain the specified $terms.«).
Hope this helps
