For non-FUZZY text SEARCH, Cyrus attempts to match the string on its own [1]. 
Off the top of my head, I don't think Cyrus falls back to the search-engine 
index for large corpus text matches. Using FUZZY always is the better choice, 
but if there's a real-world issue, please let me know. It might be possible to 
switch to Xapian also for non-FUZZY search.

Cheers,
Robert
