Hello,

I recently posted about a word being too long with Tsearch2. That isn't
actually the problem I am trying to solve (thanks for the feedback
though, now I understand it).

The problem I am after is the 8k index size issue. It is very easy to
get a GIST index (especially when using tsearch2) that is larger than that.

Is recompiling the block size the option there?
What are the downsides, except for the custom build?

Joshua D. Drake
