what'd you expect from this operation ? In 8.2 you can cast tsvector
to text like this:

=# select textin( tsvector_out( strip( to_tsvector('1 b c'))))::text || 'some text'::text;
        ?column?
----------------------
  '1' 'b' 'c'some text

You should think about removing positional information from tsvector
using strip() function.


In CVS HEAD standard CAST should works.

postgres=# select cast( 'a b c'::tsvector AS text);
text
-------------
'a' 'b' 'c'
