The text search parser relies on the C library's locale data to classify characters as being letters, digits, etc. Unfortunately, the UTF8 locales on macOS are just horribly bad, and report many results that are different from other platforms. I suppose that Apple has got reasonable Unicode character knowledge somewhere in their OS; they are just not very interested in making the POSIX locale APIs work well. Which leaves us with a bit of a problem for getting consistent results cross-platform. regards, tom lane
