The way to debug this sort of thing is generally to look at what tsquery
you're actually getting. I get
regression=# select to_tsquery(unaccent('a:*'));
NOTICE: text-search query contains only stop words or doesn't contain lexemes, ignored
to_tsquery
------------
(1 row)
regression=# select to_tsquery(unaccent('an:*'));
NOTICE: text-search query contains only stop words or doesn't contain lexemes, ignored
to_tsquery
------------
(1 row)
regression=# select to_tsquery(unaccent('ana:*'));
to_tsquery
------------
'ana':*
(1 row)
Of course, only the last is going to match 'ana'.
So you need to use a text search configuration in which a/an are
not stop words. Or possibly you could cast the unaccent result
directly to tsquery rather than passing it through to_tsquery(),
though likely that would just have a different set of failure modes
with queries where you do wish stemming would occur.
The problem with "no" seems to be the same.
One can always specify 'simple' as the config, eliminating any "stop-wprd smartness":
andreak=> select to_tsquery('simple', 'a:*');
to_tsquery
------------
'a':*
(1 row)
to_tsquery
------------
'a':*
(1 row)
