Re: Avoiding empty queries in tsearch

["Doug Cole" <doug@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That sounds perfect, but it doesn't seem to exist on either of the postgresql installations I have access to (8.1 on ubuntu and fedora core).  Is it new to 8.2?  Is there a similar function under 8.1, or at least a decent work-around?  Thanks for the help,
Doug
