Re: Restoring a db dump with tsearch fields fails

Which version of pgsql? which version of tsearch?

I had similar problems and emailed the creators of tsearch and they
provided the fix. I believe it was later integrated back into the distro.

If you check the lines where those errors occur, I bet it is missing a
single or double quote around those word.
