I'm considering using tsearch2 in the project I'm working on right now...however, I'm not sure if tsearch2 can handle my very specific requirements - I therefore hope someone can tell me if the following is possible and how I should go about it... My textfields are trigger-generated using information from a number of tables: these fields can be, say, a couple of thousand characters wide. Up to here, there's no problem. What I'd like to do is define - possibly using regexps - what constitutes a word. For instance, my word separator is a semicolon, not a space; a dash is not a separator, and neither are language specific characters (which might be interpreted that way by a language agnostic tool)... BTW, I use UTF-8 as my database encoding if it's of any importance. What it comes down to is this: is it possible to somehow define what constitutes a word? TIA, Tomislav
