Maybe I have some sort of disease, but while reading "find words out of order or support features like stemming" the regexs for that immediately flashed before my eyes, so I think "necessary" is a little strong there.
FTS is not the same as regex.

Grep only works if you want an exact string match. If you want to find words out of order or support features like stemming, fts is necessary.
