Thank you Sawada-san and Alexander. I think the idea of using trigram "text" itself rather than its CRC (due to its problems in partial matching) as GIN key (?) has not been implemented into pg_trgm yet, right? And even though, such a facility would be added, we would still need to handle multibyte characters case differently (even for partial matching), is that right? -- Amit Langote -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
