You need to read the documentation --- 8.3's text search facility
is quite a lot different from previous releases, and contrib/tsearch2
is now just a compatibility layer that does not fully hide the
differences.

Thanks for your reply!

Actually, I read this Postgresql documentation before
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/textsearch-migration.html), but
it's still very unclear to me how to install tsearch2 module on Postgres
v8.3.7 from scratch. In fact, I'm relying on tsearch2 docs for installation
instructions here:

http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/docs/tsearch-V2-intro.html

but it apparently doesn't work with Postgres v8.3.7

I would be grateful if you could provide more information on that.

Thanks,
Adel
