Right now our main website search uses plainto_tsquery() to generate the searches.

Should we consider switching that to phraseto_tsquery() now that we have phrase searching?

+1

Also, I suggest to use new parser, which better works _ and -, for example:

1.  
select ts_parse('tsparser', 'btree_gin');
    ts_parse
----------------
 (16,btree_gin)
 (11,btree)
 (12,_)
 (11,gin)
(4 rows)

select ts_parse('default', 'btree_gin');
 ts_parse
-----------
 (1,btree)
 (12,_)
 (1,gin)
(3 rows)

Default parser produces too much noise, just check the difference:

https://postgrespro.ru/search/?area=version&q=btree_gin&product=postgresql&version=9.6

https://www.postgresql.org/search/?u=%2Fdocs%2F9.6%2F&q=btree_gin

 
2. 
select ts_parse('tsparser', 'utc-5');
  ts_parse
------------
 (15,utc-5)
 (11,utc)
 (12,-)
 (9,5)
(4 rows)

select ts_parse('default', 'utc-5');
 ts_parse
----------
 (1,utc)
 (21,-5)
(2 rows)

again, compare

https://postgrespro.ru/search/?area=version&q=utc-5&product=postgresql&version=9.6

https://www.postgresql.org/search/?u=%2Fdocs%2F9.6%2F&q=utc-5

We have also better parsing of email, but I'm not sure we need it on postgres site.

We'll publish soon on github, let me know if you know it.

That sounds interesting. Two questions:

1. Do you have plans for contributing this one for upstream postgres, or is it intended to be run separately?

We would love to do this, but currently it's there

https://github.com/postgrespro/pg_tsparser

Right, found that one. But if your long term plan is to contribute it upstream, that makes it easier to rely on :)

 

2. Would it still make sense to do phrase searching? Sounds like it would? 

Yes, it would.

Cool, thanks.
