[PERFORM] FullTextSearch - UNION individual indexes or concatenated columns index ?

I'm attempting to implement full-text search and am torn between two techniques: 1) Create multiple GIN indexes on columns I'm going to search against and UNION the results or 2) Create one concatenated column GIN index consisting of the columns that will be searched. Is there any performance c
