Andreas,
I'd create myself copy of dictionary to be independent on system changes.

12.6.2. Simple Dictionary
The simple dictionary template operates by converting the input token to
lower case and checking it against a file of stop words. If it is found in
the file then an empty array is returned, causing the token to be
discarded. If not, the lower-cased form of the word is returned as the
normalized lexeme. Alternatively, the dictionary can be configured to
report non-stop-words as unrecognized, allowing them to be passed on to the
next dictionary in the list.

dictionary: just lower case and check for stopword
By default it has no Init options, so it doesn't check for stopwords.
Guess what - I *have* read the docs which sais "...and checking it against a
file of stop words". What was unclear to me was whether or not it was
configured with a stopwords-file or not as default, which is not the case I
understand from your reply. Very good, fits my needs like a glove:-) It might
be worth considering updating the docs to make this clearer?
So - can we rely on "simple" to remain this way forever (no Init options) or
is it better to make a copy of it with the same properties as today?
It seems "simple" + the unaccent dict. available in 9.0 saves my day, thanks
Mr. Bartunov.
Regards,
Oleg
