hi it was tested on 9.1 and 9.3. Interestingly - it worked without error in 8.2.
$ select to_tsquery('english', E'a\xe2\x80\x86a'); ERROR: syntax error in tsquery: "a a" the 3-byte utf8 character is SIX-PER-EM SPACE (based on info from http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2006/index.htm) Not sure what should happen with it, but generally I thought that whitespace characters will get ignored (treated as separators) when building tsquery. It seems to work that way when building tsvector though: $ select to_tsvector('english', E'a\xe2\x80\x86a'); to_tsvector ------------- (1 row) and for larger example: $ select to_tsvector('english', E'depesz\xe2\x80\x86whatever'); to_tsvector ----------------------- 'depesz':1 'whatev':2 (1 row) $ select to_tsquery('english', E'depesz\xe2\x80\x86whatever'); ERROR: syntax error in tsquery: "depesz whatever" Best regards, depesz -- The best thing about modern society is how easy it is to avoid contact with it. http://depesz.com/ -- Sent via pgsql-bugs mailing list (pgsql-bugs@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-bugs
