Because the query is what the user is typing in. I don't know what words the user is going to search for. if they simply search for 'Robocop' that would work. But how do I handle the search if they type in more than one word and still return half way accurate results?
I suppose after talking through it a bit, this may be more of a ranking issue than an actual query issue. I will read up more on ranking in the postgres docs. I skimmed past it since it didn't seem to apply, but now looking over it again, I think it could help. Thanks.
