The above are all simple text search examples. As mentioned before, full
text search functionality includes the ability to do many more things:
skip indexing certain words (stop words), process synonyms, and use
sophisticated parsing, e.g. parse based on more than just white space.
This functionality is controlled by <emphasis>configurations</>.
Fortunately, <productname>PostgreSQL</> comes with predefined
configurations for many languages. (<application>psql</>'s <command>\dF</>
shows all predefined configurations.) During installation an appropriate
configuration was selected and <xref
linkend="guc-default-text-search-config"> was set accordingly. If you
need to change it, see <xref linkend="textsearch-tables-multiconfig">.

configuration. This can be done by either setting
<varname>default_text_search_config</> in each session or supplying the
configuration name in every function call, e.g. to_tsquery('french',
'friend'), to_tsvector('english', col). If you are using an expression index,
you must also be sure to use the proper text search configuration every
time an <command>INSERT</> or <command>UPDATE</> is executed because these
will modify the index, or you can embed the configuration name into the
expression index, e.g.:
'friend'), to_tsvector('english', col). If you are using an expression
index you must embed the configuration name into the expression index, e.g.:
<programlisting>
CREATE INDEX pgweb_idx ON pgweb USING gin(to_tsvector('french', title || body));
</programlisting>
And if you do that, make sure you specify the configuration name in the
And for an expression index, specify the configuration name in the
<literal>WHERE</> clause as well so the expression index will be used.
