Hi, Ivan: I agree with you and also would like to 'hack' into the code. Current FTC is the best one in database system and a great building block to support more functions. I list some I can think about:choose "|" or "&" as an optional parameter for to_tsquery, to_tsvector.choose normalization or not for to_tsquery, to_tsvector.current two rankings are not enough: the default ts_rank, I have not figured out the algorithm. The ts_rank_cd, we have the paper but it is designed for short query with 2 or 3 tokens.The normalization may be similar to Apache Lucene which is really easy to modify and build your own tokenizer. I still feel confused after reading the annual.. I am not sure current there is a team to help Oleg Bartunov or not. If need, I can try to do something rather than just hacking it. I am sure, Ivan also will join this. :)Xu --- On Mon, 1/25/10, Ivan Sergio Borgonovo <m...@webthatworks.it> wrote:

I'm starting from a weighted tsvector not from text/tsquery. I would like to: - keep the weights in the query - avoid parsing the text to extract lexemes twice (I already have a tsvector) For me extending pg in C is a new science, but I'm actually trying to write at least a couple of functions that: - will return a tsvector as a weight int, pos int[], lexeme text record - will turn a tsvector + operator into a tsquery 'orange':A1,2,3 'banana':B4,5 'tomato':C6,7 -> 'orange':A | 'banana':B | 'tomato':C or eventually 'orange':A & 'banana':B & 'tomato':C thanks -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
