I have added the extremely basic version of tsearch2-driver to CVS HEAD. This is an implementation of the FtsEngineDriver for the Search package for PostgreSQL.
See http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/
This driver only uses the tsearch2 feature of postgresql without the external parser of OpenFTS. This makes installation much easier. Only the tsearch2 feature from PostgreSQL contrib needs to be installed.
I will be working on this in the coming weeks adding more features, and making the search more robust. Right now it just barely indexes and returns search results.
Here is documentation I have so far (very little)
TSEARCH2 PostgreSQL FtsEngineDriver for OpenACS 5.x
Installing
You'll need PostgreSQL 7.3 or newer. The tsearch2 from contrib needs
to be compiled. In addition tsearch2.sql needs to be loaded into
your database. In addition be sure to mount the Search package
somewhere. The indexer will not run is Search is not mounted.
Using
If you install tsearch2-driver and mount search, go ahead and add
some content. Weblogger or edit-this-page will generate indexed
cotent. I had to manually load lars-blogger-sc-create.sql to get
Weblogger to register the service contract implementation to index
the content. After that it worked fine.
Features
This version includes only the most basic features to prove that
tsearch2 can be used for indexing. There are many configuration
options that will be avaialble as parameters in the future. It is
also clear that the current service contract definitions are not
flexible enough to work well with every possible search driver, so
some features may not be available until after the search package is
also updated.
