This could get expensive if you have a large index. You might want to
summarize down to a separate (word,frequency) table. Particularly if you
don't want stemming to interfere with your suggestions.
See the manuals (full text search) for details on prefix searches -
introduced in 8.4 if you really want to go the tsearch route.
