Thanks for the explanation. I am working with a multi-language database
and that was the reason for using the 'simple' configuration.

I have asked, in an earlier message on this list, advice on how to
handle full text searches in a multi-language database, but got no
reaction to it. If there is a better way than using the 'simple'
configuration in this case, I would gladly try it.

Regards
Johann.
