<para>
<type>tsvector</type> is a data type that represents a document and is
optimized for full text searching. In the simplest case,
<type>tsvector</type> is a sorted list of lexemes, so even without indexes
full text searches perform better than standard <literal>~</literal> and
<literal>LIKE</literal> operations:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'a fat cat sat on a mat and ate a fat rat'::tsvector;
tsvector
----------------------------------------------------
'a' 'on' 'and' 'ate' 'cat' 'fat' 'mat' 'rat' 'sat'
</programlisting>
Notice, that <literal>space</literal> is also a lexeme:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'space '' '' is a lexeme'::tsvector;
tsvector
----------------------------------
'a' 'is' ' ' 'space' 'lexeme'
</programlisting>
Each lexeme, optionally, can have positional information which is used for
<varname>proximity ranking</varname>:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'a:1 fat:2 cat:3 sat:4 on:5 a:6 mat:7 and:8 ate:9 a:10 fat:11 rat:12'::tsvector;
tsvector
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'a':1,6,10 'on':5 'and':8 'ate':9 'cat':3 'fat':2,11 'mat':7 'rat':12 'sat':4
</programlisting>
Each lexeme position also can be labeled as <literal>A</literal>,
<literal>B</literal>, <literal>C</literal>, <literal>D</literal>,
where <literal>D</literal> is the default. These labels can be used to group
lexemes into different <emphasis>importance</emphasis> or
<emphasis>rankings</emphasis>, for example to reflect document structure.
Actual values can be assigned at search time and used during the calculation
of the document rank. This is very useful for controlling search results.
</para>
<para>
The concatenation operator, e.g. <literal>tsvector || tsvector</literal>,
can "construct" a document from several parts. The order is important if
<type>tsvector</type> contains positional information. Of course,
it is also possible to build a document using different tables:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'fat:1 cat:2'::tsvector || 'fat:1 rat:2'::tsvector;
?column?
---------------------------
'cat':2 'fat':1,3 'rat':4
SELECT 'fat:1 rat:2'::tsvector || 'fat:1 cat:2'::tsvector;
?column?
---------------------------
'cat':4 'fat':1,3 'rat':2
</programlisting>

<listitem>
<para>
<type>tsquery</type> is a data type for textual queries which supports
the boolean operators <literal>&amp;</literal> (AND), <literal>|</literal> (OR),
and parentheses. A <type>tsquery</type> consists of lexemes
(optionally labeled by letters) with boolean operators in between:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'fat &amp; cat'::tsquery;
tsquery
---------------
'fat' &amp; 'cat'
SELECT 'fat:ab &amp; cat'::tsquery;
tsquery
------------------
'fat':AB &amp; 'cat'
</programlisting>
Labels can be used to restrict the search region, which allows the
development of different search engines using the same full text index.
</para>
<para>
<type>tsqueries</type> can be concatenated using <literal>&amp;&amp;</literal> (AND)
and <literal>||</literal> (OR) operators:
<programlisting>

---------------------------
'a' &amp; 'b' &amp; ( 'c' | 'd' )

<para>
This section outlines all the functions and operators that are available
for full text searching.
</para>
<para>
Full text search vectors and queries both use lexemes, but for different
purposes. A <type>tsvector</type> represents the lexemes (tokens) parsed
out of a document, with an optional position. A <type>tsquery</type>
specifies a boolean condition using lexemes.
</para>
<para>
All of the following functions that accept a configuration argument can
use a textual configuration name to select a configuration. If the option
is omitted the configuration specified by
<varname>default_text_search_config</> is used. For more information on
configuration, see <xref linkend="textsearch-tables-configuration">.

<para>
Returns a vector which combines the lexemes and positional information of
the two vectors given as arguments. Positional weight labels (described
in the previous paragraph) are retained during the concatenation. This
has at least two uses. First, if some sections of your document need to be
parsed with different configurations than others, you can parse them
separately and then concatenate the resulting vectors. Second, you can
weigh words from one section of your document differently than the others
by parsing the sections into separate vectors and assigning each vector
a different position label with the <function>setweight()</function>
function. You can then concatenate them into a single vector and provide
a weights argument to the <function>ts_rank()</function> function that assigns
different weights to positions with different labels.

Two built-in trigger functions are available to automatically update a
<type>tsvector</> column from one or more textual columns. An example
of their use is:
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE tblMessages (
strMessage text,
tsv tsvector
);
CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON tblMessages FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
tsvector_update_trigger(tsv, 'pg_catalog.english', strMessage);
</programlisting>
Having created this trigger, any change in <structfield>strMessage</>
will be automatically reflected into <structfield>tsv</>.
</para>
<para>
Both triggers require you to specify the text search configuration to
be used to perform the conversion. For
<function>tsvector_update_trigger</>, the configuration name is simply
given as the second trigger argument. It must be schema-qualified as
shown above, so that the trigger behavior will not change with changes
in <varname>search_path</>. For
<function>tsvector_update_trigger_column</>, the second trigger argument
is the name of another table column, which must be of type
<type>regconfig</>. This allows a per-row selection of configuration
to be made.

In other words, <function>to_tsquery</function> expects already parsed text.
Each token is reduced to a lexeme using the specified or current configuration.

'fat:a &amp; rats'

What if there are several instances of rewriting? For example, query
<literal>'a &amp; b'</literal> can be rewritten as
<literal>'b &amp; c'</literal> and <literal>'cc'</literal>.
<programlisting>
SELECT * FROM aliases;
t | s
-----------+------
'a' | 'c'
'x' | 'z'
'a' &amp; 'b' | 'cc'
</programlisting>
This ambiguity can be resolved by specifying a sort order:
<programlisting>
SELECT ts_rewrite('a &amp; b', 'SELECT t, s FROM aliases ORDER BY t DESC');
ts_rewrite
---------
'cc'
SELECT ts_rewrite('a &amp; b', 'SELECT t, s FROM aliases ORDER BY t ASC');

Let's consider a real-life astronomical example. We'll expand query
<literal>supernovae</literal> using table-driven rewriting rules:
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE aliases (t tsquery primary key, s tsquery);
INSERT INTO aliases VALUES(to_tsquery('supernovae'), to_tsquery('supernovae|sn'));
SELECT ts_rewrite(to_tsquery('supernovae'), 'SELECT * FROM aliases') &amp;&amp; to_tsquery('crab');
?column?
-------------------------------
( 'supernova' | 'sn' ) &amp; 'crab'
</programlisting>
Notice, that we can change the rewriting rule online<!-- TODO maybe use another word for "online"? -->:
<programlisting>
UPDATE aliases SET s=to_tsquery('supernovae|sn &amp; !nebulae') WHERE t=to_tsquery('supernovae');
SELECT ts_rewrite(to_tsquery('supernovae'), 'SELECT * FROM aliases') &amp;&amp; to_tsquery('crab');

operators for the <type>tsquery</type> type. In the example below, we select only those

<para>
<type>tsvector</type> is a data type that represents a document and is
optimized for full text searching. In the simplest case,
<type>tsvector</type> is a sorted list of lexemes, so even without indexes
full text searches perform better than standard <literal>~</literal> and
<literal>LIKE</literal> operations:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'a fat cat sat on a mat and ate a fat rat'::tsvector;
tsvector
----------------------------------------------------
'a' 'on' 'and' 'ate' 'cat' 'fat' 'mat' 'rat' 'sat'
</programlisting>
Notice, that <literal>space</literal> is also a lexeme:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'space '' '' is a lexeme'::tsvector;
tsvector
----------------------------------
'a' 'is' ' ' 'space' 'lexeme'
</programlisting>
Each lexeme, optionally, can have positional information which is used for
<varname>proximity ranking</varname>:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'a:1 fat:2 cat:3 sat:4 on:5 a:6 mat:7 and:8 ate:9 a:10 fat:11 rat:12'::tsvector;
tsvector
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'a':1,6,10 'on':5 'and':8 'ate':9 'cat':3 'fat':2,11 'mat':7 'rat':12 'sat':4
</programlisting>
Each lexeme position also can be labeled as <literal>A</literal>,
<literal>B</literal>, <literal>C</literal>, <literal>D</literal>,
where <literal>D</literal> is the default. These labels can be used to group
lexemes into different <emphasis>importance</emphasis> or
<emphasis>rankings</emphasis>, for example to reflect document structure.
Actual values can be assigned at search time and used during the calculation
of the document rank. This is very useful for controlling search results.
</para>
<para>
The concatenation operator, e.g. <literal>tsvector || tsvector</literal>,
can "construct" a document from several parts. The order is important if
<type>tsvector</type> contains positional information. Of course,
it is also possible to build a document using different tables:
<programlisting>
SELECT 'fat:1 cat:2'::tsvector || 'fat:1 rat:2'::tsvector;
?column?
---------------------------
'cat':2 'fat':1,3 'rat':4
SELECT 'fat:1 rat:2'::tsvector || 'fat:1 cat:2'::tsvector;

Full text searching in <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> is based on
the operator <literal>@@</literal>, which tests whether a <type>tsvector</type>
(document) matches a <type>tsquery</type> (query). Also, this operator
supports <type>text</type> input, allowing explicit conversion of a text

The above are all simple text search examples. As mentioned before, full
text search functionality includes the ability to do many more things:
skip indexing certain words (stop words), process synonyms, and use
sophisticated parsing, e.g. parse based on more than just white space.
This functionality is controlled by <emphasis>configurations</>.
Fortunately, <productname>PostgreSQL</> comes with predefined
configurations for many languages. (<application>psql</>'s <command>\dF</>
shows all predefined configurations.) During installation an appropriate
configuration was selected and <xref
linkend="guc-default-text-search-config"> was set accordingly. If you
need to change it, see <xref linkend="textsearch-tables-multiconfig">.
</para>
</sect2>
</sect1>
<sect1 id="textsearch-tables">
<title>Tables and Indexes</title>
<para>
The previous section described how to perform full text searches using
constant strings. This section shows how to search table data, optionally
using indexes.
</para>
<sect2 id="textsearch-tables-search">
<title>Searching a Table</title>
<para>
It is possible to do full text table search with no index. A simple query
to find all <literal>title</> entries that contain the word
<literal>friend</> is:
<programlisting>
SELECT title
FROM pgweb
WHERE to_tsvector('english', body) @@ to_tsquery('friend')
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
The query above uses the <literal>english</> the configuration set by <xref
linkend="guc-default-text-search-config">. A more complex query is to
select the ten most recent documents which contain <literal>create</> and
<literal>table</> in the <literal>title</> or <literal>body</>:
<programlisting>
SELECT title
FROM pgweb
WHERE to_tsvector('english', title || body) @@ to_tsquery('create &amp; table')
ORDER BY dlm DESC LIMIT 10;
</programlisting>
<literal>dlm</> is the last-modified date so we
used <command>ORDER BY dlm LIMIT 10</> to get the ten most recent
matches. For clarity we omitted the <function>coalesce</function> function
which prevents the unwanted effect of <literal>NULL</literal>
concatenation.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2 id="textsearch-tables-index">
<title>Creating Indexes</title>
<para>
We can create a <acronym>GIN</acronym> (<xref
linkend="textsearch-indexes">) index to speed up the search:
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector('english', body));
</programlisting>
Notice that the 2-argument version of <function>to_tsvector</function> is
used. Only text search functions which specify a configuration name can
be used in expression indexes (<xref linkend="indexes-expressional">).
This is because the index contents must be unaffected by <xref
linkend="guc-default-text-search-config">. If they were affected, the
index contents might be inconsistent because different entries could
contain <type>tsvector</>s that were created with different text search
configurations, and there would be no way to guess which was which. It
would be impossible to dump and restore such an index correctly.
</para>
<para>
Because the two-argument version of <function>to_tsvector</function> was
used in the index above, only a query reference that uses the 2-argument
version of <function>to_tsvector</function> with the same configuration
name will use that index, i.e. <literal>WHERE 'a &amp; b' @@
to_svector('english', body)</> will use the index, but <literal>WHERE
'a &amp; b' @@ to_svector(body))</> and <literal>WHERE 'a &amp; b' @@
body::tsvector</> will not. This guarantees that an index will be used
only with the same configuration used to create the index rows.
</para>
<para>
It is possible to setup more complex expression indexes where the
configuration name is specified by another column, e.g.:
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector(config_name, body));
</programlisting>
where <literal>config_name</> is a column in the <literal>pgweb</>
table. This allows mixed configurations in the same index while
recording which configuration was used for each index row.
</para>
<para>
Indexes can even concatenate columns:
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector('english', title || body));
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>
A more complex case is to create a separate <type>tsvector</> column
to hold the output of <function>to_tsvector()</>. This example is a
concatenation of <literal>title</literal> and <literal>body</literal>,
with ranking information. We assign different labels to them to encode
information about the origin of each word:
<programlisting>
ALTER TABLE pgweb ADD COLUMN textsearch_index tsvector;
UPDATE pgweb SET textsearch_index =
setweight(to_tsvector('english', coalesce(title,'')), 'A') || ' ' ||
setweight(to_tsvector('english', coalesce(body,'')),'D');
</programlisting>
Then we create a <acronym>GIN</acronym> index to speed up the search:
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX textsearch_idx ON pgweb USING gin(textsearch_index);
</programlisting>
After vacuuming, we are ready to perform a fast full text search:
<programlisting>
SELECT ts_rank_cd(textsearch_index, q) AS rank, title
FROM pgweb, to_tsquery('create &amp; table') q
WHERE q @@ textsearch_index
ORDER BY rank DESC LIMIT 10;
</programlisting>
It is necessary to create a trigger to keep the new <type>tsvector</>
column current anytime <literal>title</> or <literal>body</> changes.
Keep in mind that, just like with expression indexes, it is important to
specify the configuration name when creating text search data types
inside triggers so the column's contents are not affected by changes to
<varname>default_text_search_config</>.

weigh words from one section of your document differently than the others
by parsing the sections into separate vectors and assigning each vector
a different position label with the <function>setweight()</function>
function. You can then concatenate them into a single vector and provide
a weights argument to the <function>ts_rank()</function> function that assigns
different weights to positions with different labels.

Two built-in trigger functions are available to automatically update a
<type>tsvector</> column from one or more textual columns. An example
of their use is:
<programlisting>
CREATE TABLE tblMessages (
strMessage text,
tsv tsvector
);
CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON tblMessages FOR EACH ROW EXECUTE PROCEDURE
tsvector_update_trigger(tsv, 'pg_catalog.english', strMessage);
</programlisting>
Having created this trigger, any change in <structfield>strMessage</>
will be automatically reflected into <structfield>tsv</>.
</para>
<para>
Both triggers require you to specify the text search configuration to
be used to perform the conversion. For
<function>tsvector_update_trigger</>, the configuration name is simply
given as the second trigger argument. It must be schema-qualified as
shown above, so that the trigger behavior will not change with changes
in <varname>search_path</>. For
<function>tsvector_update_trigger_column</>, the second trigger argument
is the name of another table column, which must be of type
