Hi, I'm trying to use tsearch2 for the first time and I'm having a
problem setting up a query
If I execute
SELECT * from test_table where ts_desc @@ to_tsquery ('hello&world');
it works, but I'm having the problem that the string used for the query
is not 'hello&world' but 'hello world', Moreover, it can have an
arbitrary number of spaces between the words, so I cannot just
substitute the spaces with &, because 'hello&&world' gives error.
What is the safest way transform a string into a list of works "anded"
together?
Don't worry, see how default parser works:
postgres=# select parse('default','hello world');
parse
--------------
(1,hello)
(12," ")
(1,world)
btw, you can use plainto_tsquery for AND query
=# select plainto_tsquery('hello world');
plainto_tsquery
-------------------
'hello' & 'world'
(1 row)

Oleg
