The short question is why does this:
select to_tsvector('de fault', coalesce(name, '') ||' '||
coalesce(descri ption, '') ||' '|| coalesce(keywor ds,'')) from
link_items;
give different results than this:
update link_items set linksfti=to_tsv ector('default' , coalesce(name,
'')
||' '|| coalesce(descri ption, '') ||' '|| coalesce(keywor ds,''));
select linksfti from link_items;
Here are more details:
I am working with Tsearch2 on a server with version string:
PostgreSQL 7.3.2 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC 2.96
I have a table with the following schema:
CREATE TABLE link_items
(
link_id int4,
name varchar(255),
url varchar(255),
description text,
spanish int4,
spanishurl varchar(255),
lastmod date,
visible int4,
state varchar(25),
promisepractice int4,
keywords text,
linksfti tsvector
)
WITH OIDS;
ALTER TABLE link_items OWNER TO gate;
I want linksfti to hold the search engine's indexing data (indexed on
'name', 'description', and 'keywords'), so I run the following command:
update link_items set linksfti=to_tsv ector('default' , coalesce(name,
'')
||' '|| coalesce(descri ption, '') ||' '|| coalesce(keywor ds,''));
The results are pretty empty. Most have empty strings for data, other
only index one or two items in the 3 input columns.
For example, after running, my table looks like:
<name>;<descrip tion>;<keywords >;<linksfti>
"American Occupational Therapy Association (AOTA) ";"National ly
recognized
professional association for over 60,000 occupational therapists and
occupational therapy assistants. ";"Rehabilitati on Professional
Associations and Councils";"'60' :1 '000':2"
"American Physical Therapy Association (APTA)";"Repres ents more than
70,000 physical therapists, physical therapist assistants, and students
of
physical therapy. ";"Rehabilitati on Professional Associations and
Councils";"'70' :1 '000':2"
"U.S. Deaf Ski & Snowboard Association";"W inter sports for people who
are
deaf & relevant links.";"Recrea tion Winter Sports";"'u.s': 1"
"Texas Adaptive Aquatics";"Adap tive water skiing program for people
with
physical and/or mental disabilities. ";"Recreati on Water
Sports";"'and/or':1"
"World T.E.A.M. Sports";"Inclus ive sports activities.";"R ecreation Team

"Tennessee";"Of ficial State Web Site";"Legal State Agencies";""
"Project Vote Smart";"By entering zip code, users get list of all their

sites,
etc. ";"Governme nt / Public Policy General";""
"TRIPOD Captioned Films";"Caption ed Films for people who are deaf or
hard
of hearing.";"Recr eation Captioned Movies";""
When don't do it as an UPDATE and just print the contents to the
screen, I
get the full expected output:
select name, description, keywords, to_tsvector('de fault',
coalesce(name,
'') ||' '|| coalesce(descri ption, '') ||' '|| coalesce(keywor ds,''))
from
link_items;
"United States of America Deaf Track and Field";"Promote s training of

Using pgAdminIII, I copied (default backup/restore) the database from
our
production server and put in on my personal desktop (Windows 2000,
PgSQL
8.0.0) and re-ran the update query and it gave proper results.
Is it a known issue with 7.3.2, and is there a workaround without
upgrading the server to 8.0.0? We will upgrade in a few months, but we
can't take the server offline now because we have too many websites
that
depend on it. 0 2641 This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics |

Hi there,
I have an issue with tsearch. I'm using tsearch as a search mechanism on a
website making various queries created from the words that a user has put in.
So I query for all the words put in combined with a logical 'and' and also a
query with all the words combined with a logical 'or'. In the 'and' case
stopwords are correctly ignored whereas in the 'or' case they are not
apparently, e.g.
select 'tax&and&work'::mquery_txt;

Hi there,
me again. How do I find the stopwords that tsearch uses in its standard
configuration? I've looked at contrib/tsearch/dict/porter_english.dct and get
a feeling it's somewhere in there but I can't decipher it. Any suggestions?

This is probably a common problem, but I couldn't really find a direct answer in

I think when search terms have "."s in them they become case sensitive

somehow it seems to work, finally...
3 probably easy questions remain...
1.) Is it possible to index already filled tables?
2.)Can i have seperated indexes for different columns in a table
3.) Can i create an extra Table just for my indexes that is not included
in my data table?
