It took a little more than that with the latest fpc :-)

Meanwhile Darius Blaszijk and me created an own engine, which we hope to
release soon. It will be used for the FPC docs (amongst other things). 
If you're interested and Darius agrees, I can send you a copy.
It definitely works, I also use it in a commercial project to implement
full-text-search on a firebird database. And it works with any FPC supported
database as storage.
