Erik,
I think it'd be more clear if you say not 'stemmed', but processed in
according to configuration. Here is an example:
$SHAREDIR/tsearch_data/my_synonyms.syn contains one line:
one 1
CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY my_synonym (
TEMPLATE = synonym,
SYNONYMS = my_synonyms
);
ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION english
ALTER MAPPING FOR asciiword
WITH my_synonym, english_stem;
test=# select 'one'::tsvector @@ to_tsquery('english','one:*');
?column?
----------
f
(1 row)
because 'one' was processed by my_synonym dictionary.
test=# select ts_debug('english','one');
ts_debug
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(asciiword,"Word, all ASCII",one,"{my_synonym,english_stem}",my_synonym,{1})
(1 row)

I found the text-search documentation a little unclear about 'prefix search';
specifically, the
examples do not show that the so-called 'prefix' is first stemmed, before it is
used as prefix.
For instance, the following can be a little surprising:
SELECT to_tsvector( 'postgraduate' ) @@ to_tsquery( 'postgres:*' );
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)
Because prefix search is such an important functionality I think this should be
better explained,
which I hope the attached doc-patch does.
(In textsearch.sgml is another mention + example of prefix search, perhaps it
should be extended a
little there too - which I'm happy to do as well, but I first wanted to see if
you agree that it
is a little too obscure as it stands)
