title: How to use FTS in SQLite with Monotouch for iOS
body: <p>I'm looking to build an iOS app using Monotouch that has a rather large sqlite db full of text. I need to provide fast searching over this text.</p>
  
  <p>My best solution right now is the FTS module (preferably version 4). I have read that the default instance of sqlite on iOS does not support FTS. If this is true what is the recommended way to build a custom instance of sqlite with Monotouch? Or can this be done at all?  </p>
  
  <p>I found this site describing how to accomplish this with xcode, but it is not clear how I would accomplish with Monotouch.<br>

  <p>Any help is much appreciated!</p>
