Hi! ts2test=# select * from ts_debug('Jeden Tag wird man ein bisschen weiser'); ts_name | tok_type | description | token | dict_name | tsvector ----------------+----------+-------------+----------+-------------+------------ default_german | lword | Latin word | Jeden | {de_ispell} | default_german | lword | Latin word | Tag | {de_ispell} | 'tag' default_german | lword | Latin word | wird | {de_ispell} | default_german | lword | Latin word | man | {de_ispell} | default_german | lword | Latin word | ein | {de_ispell} | 'eint' default_german | lword | Latin word | bisschen | {de_ispell} | 'bisschen' default_german | lword | Latin word | weiser | {de_ispell} | 'weise' (7 rows)
cat german.stop|grep ^ein$ ein 'jeden', 'man', 'wird' and 'ein' are all in german.stop; the first three words are correctly recognozed as stopwords, whereas the last one is converted to 'eint', although 'ein' is a stopword, too. I still don't understand what exactly is happening and if I should be concerned by that sort of "wrong guess" - so 'ein' is just converted to 'eint' every time, no matter if it's in the stopwords-file or not, but on the other hand, as this applies to to_tsvector(), to_tsquery() and lexize(), this behaviour would be consitant throughout tsearch2 - thus making any search containing 'ein' a little bit fuzzier, but nonetheless still usable. It's still some sort of cosmetic bug, though, but I guess that's probably due to German being somewhat less IT-friendly than english.

Doesn't it evaluate the > stopword-list first before doing the lookup in the Ispell-dictionary? yes. There is very usefull function for debugging I always recommend to use - ts_debug.
