The datasette documentation describes populating an fts table like so:
```
INSERT INTO ""items_fts"" (rowid, name, description, category_name)
    SELECT items. rowid,
    items.name,
    items.description,
    categories.name
    FROM items JOIN categories ON items.category_id=categories.id;
```
Alternatively if you have fts support in sqlite_utils for views (which sqlite and fts5 support), you can do the same thing just by creating a view that captures the above joins as columns, then creating an fts table from that view. Such an fts table can be created using sqlite_utils, where one created with your method can't. 

The resulting fts table can then be used by a whole family of related tables and views in the manner you described earlier in this issue. ","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",783778672,

When I'm working with views and FTS I tend to write my queries against a FTS table for one of the tables that is used by the view - https://docs.datasette.io/en/stable/full_text_search.html#configuring-full-text-search-for-a-table-or-view describes how I do that in Datasette for example.

Can you expand on your use-case for FTS and views? I'm ready to be convinced otherwise, but I don't see how it would work right now.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",783778672,
