It split a string into lexemes. It loops over the lexemes to build up the query with &. Something like: select ( string_to_array( strip( to_tsvector('pg_catalog.english', 'orange banana woods booking'))::text , ' ') )[i] from generate_series(0,3) s(i); and then gluing up the pieces with |. And the above example still miss to solve some of the details like cleaning the '. Another option would be to return the tsvector to the client and then build the tsquery there and send it back to the server. I'm on 8.3 but I don't think it makes any real difference for this. Sorry if I'm still missing the obvious. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
