In general, we have absolutely no problem with CJK in Postgres. Search is very application specific and some of our users want to do things like kana + kanji search. [1] I don't even know where you would start with that in Postgres.

We also need stuff like language detection and analysis of mixed language data.

A big advantage of going with a dedicated search tool is that it teaches you what you don't know about search, and it turned out that we knew pretty much nothing.
