I found a way to do this but I don't know if there is a better way.
What I did was to create a separate index on each table and construct a
query like:

SELECT * FROM a WHERE (to_tsvector(...) @@ to_tsquery(...)) OR primaryKey IN
(SELECT distinct(foreign_key) FROM b WHERE to_tsvector(...) @@
to_tsquery(...))

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
