`FTS Dictionary Dialog`:index:
|
|
******************************
|
|
|
|
Use the *FTS Dictionary* dialog to create a full text search dictionary. You
|
|
can use a predefined templates or create a new dictionary with custom
|
|
parameters.
|
|
|
|
The *FTS Dictionary* dialog organizes the development of a FTS dictionary
|
|
through the following dialog tabs: *General*, *Definition*, and *Options*. The
|
|
*SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *General* tab to identify the dictionary:
|
|
|
|
* Use the *Name* field to add a descriptive name for the dictionary. The name
|
|
will be displayed in the *pgAdmin* tree control.
|
|
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Owner* to select the role that will own the
|
|
FTS Dictionary.
|
|
* Select the name of the schema in which the dictionary will reside from the
|
|
drop-down listbox in the *Schema* field.
|
|
* Store notes about the dictionary in the *Comment* field.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Definition* tab to continue.

:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the field in the *Definition* tab to choose a template from the drop-down
|
|
listbox:
|
|
|
|
* Select *ispell* to select the Ispell template. The Ispell dictionary template
|
|
supports morphological dictionaries, which can normalize many different
|
|
linguistic forms of a word into the same lexeme. For example, an English
|
|
Ispell dictionary can match all declensions and conjugations of the search
|
|
term bank, e.g., banking, banked, banks, banks', and bank's. Ispell
|
|
dictionaries usually recognize a limited set of words, so they should be
|
|
followed by another broader dictionary; for example, a Snowball dictionary,
|
|
which recognizes everything.
|
|
* Select *simple* to select the simple template. The simple dictionary template
|
|
operates by converting the input token to lower case and checking it against
|
|
a file of stop words. If it is found in the file then an empty array is
|
|
returned, causing the token to be discarded. If not, the lower-cased form of
|
|
the word is returned as the normalized lexeme. Alternatively, the dictionary
|
|
can be configured to report non-stop-words as unrecognized, allowing them to
|
|
be passed on to the next dictionary in the list.
|
|
* Select *snowball* to select the Snowball template. The Snowball dictionary
|
|
template is based on a project by Martin Porter, inventor of the popular
|
|
Porter's stemming algorithm for the English language. Snowball now provides
|
|
stemming algorithms for many languages (see the Snowball site for more
|
|
information). Each algorithm understands how to reduce common variant forms of
|
|
words to a base, or stem, spelling within its language. A Snowball dictionary
|
|
recognizes everything, whether or not it is able to simplify the word, so it
|
|
should be placed at the end of the dictionary list. It is useless to have it
|
|
before any other dictionary because a token will never pass through it to the
|
|
next dictionary.
|
|
* Select *synonym* to select the synonym template. This dictionary template is
|
|
used to create dictionaries that replace a word with a synonym. Phrases are not
|
|
supported (use the thesaurus template (Section 12.6.4) for that). A synonym
|
|
dictionary can be used to overcome linguistic problems, for example, to prevent
|
|
an English stemmer dictionary from reducing the word Paris to pari.
|
|
* Select *thesaurus* to select the thesaurus template. A thesaurus dictionary
|
|
replaces all non-preferred terms by one preferred term and, optionally,
|
|
preserves the original terms for indexing as well. PostgreSQL's current
|
|
implementation of the thesaurus dictionary is an extension of the synonym
|
|
dictionary with added phrase support.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Options* tab to continue.

|
|
:align: center
|
|
|
|
Use the fields in the *Options* tab to provide template-specific options. Click
|
|
the *Add* icon (+) to add an option clause:
|
|
|
|
* Specify the name of an option in the *Option* field
|
|
* Provide a value for the option in the *Value* field.
|
|
|
|
Click the *Add* icon (+) to specify each additional option/value pair; to
|
|
discard an option, click the trash icon to the left of the row and confirm
|
|
deletion in the *Delete Row* popup.
|
|
|
|
Click the *SQL* tab to continue.
|
|
|
|
Your entries in the *FTS Dictionary* dialog generate a generate a SQL command.
|
|
Use the *SQL* tab for review; revisit or switch tabs to make any changes to the
|
|
SQL command.
|
|
|
|
Example
|
|
*******
|
|
|
|
The following is an example of the sql command generated by user selections in
|
|
the *FTS Dictionary* dialog:

The example shown demonstrates creating a custom dictionary named
|
|
*more_stopwords* which is based on the simple template and is configured to use standard English.
