Question - I have done some reading on this plugin and how it performs full text searches. Can it be used and if so, is it a good idea to use it in searches for regular values in a database. For instance, i want to search for all records with a record_id of 2 and all color_id with 9.

Use it only for fulltext searches, that''s what it''s really good at. ID searches are still best performed on the database itself.
