Seems like the simplest solution is just to apply
regexp_replace(text, '/', '-', 'g')
before letting the text search stuff have the string. If you're
using a trigger to update a tsvector column, this would be pretty
trivial to do within the trigger.
In general there seem to be a lot of ways that people wish they
could tweak the text search parser, and telling them to write
their own parser isn't a very helpful response for most folk.
I don't have an idea about how to improve the situation, but
it seems like something that should be thought about.
Sure, we thought about this. The most difficult part in user-configurable
parser (we thought about table-driven finite automata) is the foolproof
design. There are should be algorithms for testing validity of finite
automata, but we don't know any effective way.
