Re: tsearch bug in 7.2.1?

No you can use:
regression=# select 'the'::mquery_txt;
ERROR: Your query contained only stopword(s), ignored
regression=# select 'good'::mquery_txt;
mquery_txt
------------
'good'
(1 row)

I suggest:
1.
regression=# select 'the'::mquery_txt;
NOTICE: Your query contained only stopword(s), ignored
mquery_txt
-------------

(1 row)
2. any operation with void query returns false:
select t from tbl where t ## 'the';
NOTICE: Your query contained only stopword(s), ignored
tbl
-----
(0 row)
