Different relational databases treat text search very differently. The new DbTextSearch gem provides a unified interface on top of ActiveRecord for SQLite, MySQL, and PostgreSQL to do:

• Case-insensitive string-in-set querying, and CI index creation.
• Basic full-text search for a list of terms, and FTS index creation.

DbTextSearch does all the heavy lifting under the hood, hiding the complexity of handling each database differently away, which is great for gem authors, when migrating an application from one database to another, or writing code that must support multiple databases.
