This index discards old entries. This is fine for messages, in which aging items lose relevance. Yet the developer uses it for a help desk, which I think should give equal importance to all items.
In this area I would say the main comperitor is Groonga. It can be integrated into PostgreSQL with the PGroonga extension, and it indexes all of the data. However it consumes way more ram.
Glancing over this it looks like a nearly perfect fit for my use case I just wish I had seen this a couple of weeks earlier!
And if you don't know what you want exactly, you can't find anything.
I was looking for something just like this for a project in my team. We had been using this setup where a huge chunk of the data was being stored in triplicate: some of it in ES, some more of it in another database and finally the whole dataset in our data warehouse.
Hopefully I can use this to only provide the index + full text capability and just use the warehouse itself as the main db because the query performance is similar enough and the warehouse is criminally underused for what we pay for it.
Perhaps the upstream default is 1 GB but this was not the default, and there is much confusion on setting these correctly

Not everyone has time to dig into it; of course if you did that’s good for you
If at any moment you feel lost, look through related issues and merge requests, as well as Git history. Perhaps you'll see how things get changed in the project, patterns intrinsic to it.
Also, keep in mind that you can always try to contact the community/author or invite someone to try figuring out your goal with you - once you collaborate, you'll get a solution tailored to the way you think. It does engage other people, but it also makes coding social and (at least to me) more satisfying.
Let me know what you think of this approach!
