I'd like to use tsearch2 to index protein and gene names. Unfortunately,
such names are written inconsistently and sometimes with hyphens. For
example, MCL-1 and MCL1 are semantically equivalent but with the default
parser and to_tsvector, I see this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]> select to_tsvector('MCL1 MCL-1');
to_tsvector
-------------------------
'-1':3 'mcl':2 'mcl1':1
For the purposes of indexing these names, I suspect I'd get the majority
of cases by removing a hyphen when it's followed by 1 or 2 chars from
[a-zA-Z0-9]. Does that require a custom parser?
Thanks,
Reece
