there seems to be no way of searching partial matches with tsearch. Would it be hard to implement prefix based matching, i.e.
"hu" matches "human", "humanity", "humming", "huge"? With some hacking I managed to disable morphology part from tsearch1 (database contained multiple languages in a single table so morphology could not be used) and it run happily for a year. But now I needed prefix based substring match and I'm kinda lost. I tried using fulltextindex but it took ages to create the index with 100K table (query run about a day before I lost my pacience and canceled it). I even modified it to lose suffixes and index only full words but it was still too slow (50K records were indexed in 24h).
Can anybody help or point out right direction? Or is this even (easily) doable with tsearch1 or tsearch2?
