There's definitely more to FTI than tokenization alone, but then again there's an awful lot of power in m/r and javascript -- it didn't take me a second to find a porter stemming algorithm in js: http://tartarus.org/~martin/PorterStemmer/js.txt I bet variable weighting would be pretty close to impossible in the m/r paradigm though, and probably some other features (of course, I could be wrong, and when it comes to couchdb, thus far I usually am). For a strait-up word search, this is servicible as is. I'm going to see if I can't figure out how to shoehorn in some boolean features.
