2. Neither OpenFTS or tsearch2 support exact phrase matching. I've seen the workaround to support matching a single exact phrase by modifying the WHERE

performance?

It seems to work well for me, but I'm sure the results are highly data dependent. Performance will directly depend on the size and number of documents you must sequentially search for your phrase after making the initial cut on the indexed words.
