Check this out for your app: https://github.com/Casecommons/pg_search
It's basically all that stuff minus the complexity of configuring it up for a rails app.

TF–IDF ranking doesn't seem to be too complex a thing to implement. Maybe this is an opportunity for someone here to contribute to the open source project.

Indeed.
Yeah trying both is definitely the best way to go about it.

Haha! That's very true.
The reason I'm promoting elixir instead is because I feel that it's easier to pick up in terms of how different it is from imperative and OO languages.
While you are right in how Erlang has a much longer reputation, it's odd though how it hasn't gained much popularity like other languages that have been around for that long.

For anyone who's interested in Erlang (or functional programming in general) but thinks it looks a bit daunting, check out Elixir.
It's a new language which has just turned 1.0, has Ruby/Python like syntax and runs on the Erlang OTP VM (kind of like how clojure runs on the JVM). This gives you all of the amazing concurrent power which has helped the Heroku guys here.
Check it out!: http://elixir-lang.org/
