  "account": "Eric Ridge and Patrick Reynolds announced TIN, a full-featured, reliable full-text search extension for Postgres, on September 16, 2026. TIN, short for Text INdex, supports all necessary features such as handling joins, complicated WHERE clauses, continuous updates, replication, backups, and correct transaction visibility. Although three other text-search indexes exist for Postgres, none meet all these requirements. TIN is exceptionally fast, handling up to 25 times more queries per second and achieving p99 latencies 26 times lower than ParadeDB, a competing index. Similar benchmarks compare TIN against ParadeDB and Postgres GIN for mixed query workloads. TIN outperforms ParadeDB by 10 times and Postgres GIN by 541 times, while maintaining significantly lower latencies. A third benchmark compares TIN against ParadeDB and pg_textsearch, handling disjunction queries, top-10 BM25 score results, and concurrent updates. TIN handles 36 times more queries than pg_textsearch and 57 times more than ParadeDB, with p99 latencies 24 and 36 times lower, respectively.",
