James, you provide us a little useful information. If you really want help you need to provide all information about your setup, sample queries and explain analyze, test data illustrated your problem.
I, personally, usually prefer to have copy-pasteable information. I think we all are quite busy, so don't expect to get help if you can't
give yours attention. For example, this post would be reduced to the simple test query test=# select version(); version ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PostgreSQL 8.3.3 on i686-pc-linux-gnu, compiled by GCC gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (1 row) test=# select strip(to_tsvector('english', 'cars and vehicles')) @@ plainto_tsquery('english', 'cars'); ?column? ---------- t If not, you have problem.

Hi again, I have set my configuration as default and I have created a GIN index on three columns, like this create index textsearch_index on products using gin(strip( to_tsvector( 'my_config', title || '' || description || '' || name))) Searching these columns the way I have ... AND (title || '' || description || '' || name) @@ plainto_tsquery('car') seems not to be correct since it's taking as much time as non-indexed. Also changing the word car to cars returns nothing even though select * from plainto_tsquery('cars') returns 'car' Could you please point me in the right direction ? James
