Postgres doesn't support multi-table indexes so there's no way tsearch2
would be able to.

What exactly are you trying to achieve?

Probably best to join the tables, then simply do the search in the
WHERE clause.  Something like

select p.partname, s.subassemblyname
from part p join subassembly s
on p.partid = s.partid
where p.partidx @@ to_tsquery('Some happy string')
 or s.subidx @@ to_tsquery('Some happy string')

That's how I do it, anyway...
