I am not an expert on FTS, but I have been reading and experimenting. Further, I don't know what you are really attempting. With those warnings behind us, I think a GIN or GiST index are helpful in full text searches. You may find this useful: Understanding Full Text Search http://linuxgazette.net/164/sephton.html I suggest that you review the Postgres Documentation for FTS: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/interactive/textsearch.html One option you may find interesting is the pg_trgm module: http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/pgtrgm.html hth, - Mark Phillips On Jun 15, 2012, at 8:18 AM, Philipp Kraus wrote: > Hello, > > I have created a table with a text field under PG 9.1, that should store source codes.
