Hm? Allow me to clarify. To the best of my knowledge, and in my limited experience, the tsearch2() trigger function provided with tsearch will only index fields present in the table upon which it is created, in an index column present in the table upon which it is created. If I am incorrect in this assessment I would be glad to be corrected. Of course, custom triggers can be written to do anything from soup to nuts. - Ian A. Harding
