Re: tsearch2 in PostgreSQL 8.3?

Tom and Bruce, what version of patch you're using ?
Bruce complained about using OID in arguments of functions, but
AFAIR, it was removed in 0.58 version of patch.

I and Teodor are very busy and just can't follow all discussions, so
we have to rely on people's wisdom. If we have so many problem with
integration, that probably we could just integrate support of data types
(tsquery, tsvector), index support for them and set of support functions
like to_tsquery, to_tsvector and leave everything remaining in
contrib/tsearch2 as an example of text search engine design.
Then, after fixing design problem as well as some backend's issues we could
come with much better conclusions.
