Re: TSearch2: Problems with compound words and stop words

Oleg,

i use TSearch2 with PostgreSQL 7.4.6 and i applied the compoundword
patch yesterday. The configuration changed a little bit but the result
is the same. I get no compound words. I'm using the locale de_DE with
encoding ISO8859-1 for the database.

I think i spell is working correctly except the compound words. If i try

SELECT lexize('de_ispell', 'springt')

i get

lexize
{springen,springen}

which seems correct.

But a SELECT lexize('de_ispell', 'Autobahn')

results in

lexize
{autobahn}

i would expect {auto,bahn, autobahn}

The new configuration after the compound word patch:
