Hi, I'm completly dispointed with Tsearch2 ... I have a table like this : Table "public.site" Column | Type | Modifiers ---------------+-----------------------------+--------------------------------------------------------------- id_site | integer | not null default nextval('public.site_id_site_seq'::text) site_name | text | site_url | text | url | text | language | text | datecrea | date | default now() id_category | integer | time_refresh | integer | active | integer | error | integer | description | text | version | text | idx_site_name | tsvector | lastcheck | date | lastupdate | timestamp without time zone | Indexes: "site_id_site_key" unique, btree (id_site) "ix_idx_site_name" gist (idx_site_name) Triggers: tsvectorupdate_site_name BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON site FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE tsearch2('idx_site_name', 'site_name') I have 183 956 records in the database ... SELECT s.site_name, s.id_site, s.description, s.site_url, case when exists (select id_user from user_choice u where u.id_site=s.id_site and u.id_user = 1) then 1 else 0 end as bookmarked FROM site s WHERE s.idx_site_name @@ to_tsquery('atari'); Explain Analyze : QUERY PLAN ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Index Scan using ix_idx_site_name on site s (cost=0.00..1202.12 rows=184 width=158) (actual time=4687.674..4698.422 rows=1 loops=1) Index Cond: (idx_site_name @@ '\'atari\''::tsquery) Filter: (idx_site_name @@ '\'atari\''::tsquery) SubPlan -> Seq Scan on user_choice u (cost=0.00..3.46 rows=1 width=4) (actual time=0.232..0.232 rows=0 loops=1) Filter: ((id_site = $0) AND (id_user = 1)) Total runtime: 4698.608 ms First time I run the request I have a result in about 28 seconds.

I'm using PostgreSQL v7.4.6 with a Bi-Penitum III 933 Mhz and 1 Gb of RAM. Any idea ... ? For the moment I'm going back to use the ilike solution ... but I was really thinking that Tsearch2 could be a better solution ...
