Well, long story... I'm still using my own indexing on top of the 
tsearch2 parsers and stemming.

However, two obvious cases come to mind:

- autocompletion, where I want to give the user one of the possible 
known words. Currently, I'm returning the stemmed word, which is 
obviously not quite right.

- highlighting of matching words

Thanks. I probably need to dig in the sources, though.
