Based on the docs,
plainto_tsquery() creates tsquery with the & operator (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/functions-textsearch.html), so the @@ operator will not find partial matches. And this way I cannot calculate ts_rank for those partial matches.
Now I am thinking about splitting the input text myself to terms, then searching and
ranking the documents for each term. Finally summing the scores by document. This way the documents with more matching terms would get greater score.2018-05-05 2:06 GMT+02:00 David G. Johnston <david.g.johnston@xxxxxxxxx>:
