Ah, many thanks. How about updating those web pages? :)
Now they are in core:

Pls, why don't you use tsearch2 with GIN?
Perhaps -- is there any documentation on this?
Nothing special, just use GIN index instead of GiST.
I think a section showing when to use GiST versus GIN would be very
helpful (assuming there are still good reasons to use GiST). I would
certainly read it.
I was wondering this same thing, but it appears the trade-off is disk
space/update speed (GiST) vs. query times (Gin). Magnus had a couple of nice
posts in his blog you might want to check out:
http://people.planetpostgresql.org/mha/
This is written in tsearch2 documentation
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/docs/tsearch2-ref.html#indexes
Also, see our slides
http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/wiki/tsearch2slides
The best practice is to use GIN for archive search and GiST for online one.
Table inheritabce with CE would help maintaining of good search performance
and fast update.

Oleg
