Hi,

tsearch2 is an extension which provides FTS interface for
applications were developed for old versions of PostgreSQL.

Since version 8.3 full-text search is part of PostgreSQL core.
tsearch2 solve a problem of API incompatibility in some aspects and
were kept for backward-compatibility reasons. It was removed since
version 10.

For more information about in-core full-text search API check
documentation at
