As of version 8.3 of PostgreSQL: #---------------
TSearch2, our cutting-edge full text search tool, has been fully integrated into the core code, and also has a cleaner API. This will both make TSearch2 easier to use and to extend with new languages, dictionaries and weighting systems. #----------------- Before version 8.3, TSearch2 was a contributed module, and had to be added to the database that needed full text search. http://www.postgresql.org/about/press/features83 Regards, LelandJ On 02/24/2010 10:41 AM, Malcolm Greene wrote: > Anyone have any experience using PostgreSQL's fulltext search > capabilities? > > In particular, how easy is it to control the min word length for > what qualifies as a searchable word? > > In MySQL you can control this setting via the my.ini file entry > "ft_min_len = 3". > > Does PostgreSQL have a similar capability and is it possible to > change this behavior on a database by database basis without > having to edit a a configuration file entry that requires a > restart of the database to be recognized? > > A secondary question for our Python readers: What PostgreSQL > Python module do you recommend for Python 2.5/2.6 dual > Linux/Windows use? > > Here's the official(?) list of options to choose from: > http://wiki.python.org/moin/PostgreSQL > > Thanks! > Malcolm > > > --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- > multipart/alternative > text/plain (text body -- kept) > text/html > --- > [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
