Hey,

I want to use hunspell as a dictionary for the full text search by

* using PostgresSQL 8.4.7
* installing hunspell-de-de, hunspell-de-med
* creating a dictionary:

CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY german_hunspell (
TEMPLATE = ispell,
DictFile = de_de,
AffFile = de_de,
StopWords = german
);

* changing the config

ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION german
ALTER MAPPING FOR asciiword, asciihword, hword_asciipart,
word, hword, hword_part
WITH german_hunspell, german_stem;

* now testing the lexizer:

SELECT ts_lexize('german_hunspell', 'Schokaladenfarik');
ts_lexize
-----------

(1 Zeile)

Shouldn't it be something like this:
SELECT ts_lexize('norwegian_ispell', 'sjokoladefabrikk');
{sjokoladefabrikk,sjokolade,fabrikk}
(from the 8.4 documentation of PostgreSQL)

The dict and affix files in the tsearch_data directory were
automatically generated by pg_updatedicts.

Is this a problem of the splitting compound word functionality? Should
I use ispell instead of hunspell?

Thanks
