2007-10-23Rename and slightly redefine the default text search parser's "word"Tom Lane
categories, as per discussion. asciiword (formerly lword) is still ASCII-letters-only, and numword (formerly word) is still the most general mixed-alpha-and-digits case. But word (formerly nlword) is now any-group-of-letters-with-at-least-one-non-ASCII, rather than all-non-ASCII as before. This is no worse than before for parsing mixed Russian/English text, which seems to have been the design center for the original coding; and it should simplify matters for parsing most European languages. In particular it will not be necessary for any language to accept strings containing digits as being regular "words". The hyphenated-word categories are adjusted similarly.
2007-10-22Clarify example of planner cost computation, per a suggestion fromTom Lane
James Shaw. Also update a couple of examples to reflect 8.3's improved plan-printing code.
2007-10-22Adjust ts_debug's output as per my proposal of yesterday: show theTom Lane
active dictionary and its output lexemes as separate columns, instead of smashing them into one text column, and lowercase the column names. Also, define the output rowtype using OUT parameters instead of a composite type, to be consistent with the other built-in functions.
2007-10-22Create a quick-and-dirty list of known migration issues for pre-8.3Tom Lane
users of tsearch. This isn't meant to be permanent documentation, but to call out the areas that need either fixing or real documentation.
2007-10-21Editorial overhaul for text search documentation. Organize the infoTom Lane
more clearly, improve a lot of unclear descriptions, add some missing material. We still need a migration guide though.

2007-10-17Another round of editorialization on the text search documentation.Tom Lane
Notably, standardize on using "token" for the strings output by a parser, while "lexeme" is reserved for the normalized strings produced by a dictionary.

2007-10-07A few improvements to analyze and vacuum sections in documentation: add "seeAlvaro Herrera
also" entries for autovacuum in analyze and vacuum reference pages, and enhance usage of cross-references in the maintenance page.
2007-10-07Change &pi; to plain "pi" in index entry, to avoid double escaping issues.Alvaro Herrera
2007-10-07Clean up the doc makefile for draft HTML generation. It no longer worksAlvaro Herrera
to do "make DRAFT=Y html"; you need to use "make draft" (which was also supported previously).
