I've finally got MV to read the products database from Postgres, however to
my disappointment, it seems to be slower than the text search.  Does anyone
have similar problems?

Thanks for the people who replied about my previous question.  It turns out
that the MV was reading Postgres all the time, but just that the search type
wasn't specified... ie
<input type=hidden name=mv_searchtype value=sql> instead of text.
