contrib/pg_trgm in 9.1 becomes more attractive feature by index supports for LIKE operators, but only alphabet and numeric characters are indexed by default. But, we can modify KEEPONLYALNUM in the source code to keep all characters in n-gram words.
However, the limitation and KEEPONLYALNUM are not documented in the page: http://developer.postgresql.org/pgdocs/postgres/pgtrgm.html An additonal documentation patches acceptable? The issues would be a FAQ for non-English users. I heard that pg_trgm will be one of the *killer features* of 9.1 in Japan, where N-gram based text search is preferred. -- Itagaki Takahiro -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
