Bug reference:      6375
Logged by:          Valentine Gogichashvili
Email address:      valgog(at)gmail(dot)com
PostgreSQL version: 9.1.1
Operating system:   Debian 4.4.5-8
Description:        

Hello, 

default tsearch parser does not recognize all valid email addresses and
tokenizes them as text, splitting into tokens. 

For example:

postgres=# select to_tsquery('simple', 'normal(at)email(dot)com' );
     to_tsquery     
────────────────────
 'normal(at)email(dot)com'
(1 row)

here it behaves ok;

postgres=# select to_tsquery('simple', '-still-normal(at)email(dot)com' );
        to_tsquery        
──────────────────────────
 'still-normal(at)email(dot)com'
(1 row)

here it trims '-' from the beginning of an email. This is not correct, but
will at least find that email.

postgres=# select to_tsquery('simple', '-not-normal-with-dash-(at)email(dot)com'
);
                                  to_tsquery                                
  
───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 'not-normal-with-dash' & 'not' & 'normal' & 'with' & 'dash' & 'email.com'
(1 row)

and this is now a real problem as it leads to finding emails that are not
the same, but are "super-sets" of that one.

Valid email characters, that are not correctly treated also are at least '+'
and '.'

With my best regards,
