So this (content like '%Militant%' OR content like '%jihad%') AND (content like '%kill%' OR content like '%injure%') becomes to_tsvector('english',content) @@ to_tsquery('english', '(Militant | jihad) & (kill | injure)') BTW it seems you somehow believe you'll get exactly the same result from those two queries (LIKE vs. tsearch) - that's false expectation. I believe the fulltext query is much better and more appropriate in this case, just don't expect the same results. regards Tomas -- Sent via pgsql-performance mailing list (pgsql-performance@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-performance
