Here both 'hello' and 'hello world' are ranked equally highly when
searching with 'hello'. What I'm wondering is, is there a way within
postgres to have it match higher to just 'hello' than 'hello world'?
I.e. something like it slightly down-weights extraneous terms? Of course
in general I don't know the query or the field strings ahead of time.

Thanks for any help!

Hello,

try the query:

SELECT s, ts_rank(vector, query) AS rank
FROM t, to_tsvector(s) vector, to_tsquery('hello') query
WHERE query @@ vector;
      s      |   rank
-------------+-----------
 hello       | 0.0607927
 hello world | 0.0303964
(2 rows)

And read about **normalization** in [1]
