The given query has nothing to do with rare+common terms, since there is
only one term in the search --- and what's more, the planner's estimate
for that term is spot on already (755 estimated matches vs 752 actual).

It looks to me like the complaint is more probably about inappropriate
choice of join order; but since we've been allowed to see only some small
portion of either the query or the plan, speculating about the root cause
is a fool's errand.
