*********************
The FTS Parser Dialog
*********************
Use the *FTS Parser* dialog to create a new text search parser. A text search parser defines a method for splitting a text string into tokens and assigning types (categories) to the tokens.
The *FTS Parser* dialog organizes the development of a text search parser through the following dialog tabs: *General*, and *Definition*. The *SQL* tab displays the SQL code generated by dialog selections.

Use the fields in the *General* tab to identify a text search parser:
* Use the *Name* field to add a descriptive name for the parser. The name will be displayed in the *pgAdmin* tree control.
* Select the name of the schema in which the parser will reside from the drop-down listbox in the *Schema* field.
* Store notes about the domain in the *Comment* field.
Click the *Definition* tab to continue.

Use the fields in the *Definition* tab to define parameters:
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Start function* to select the name of the function that will initialize the parser.
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Get next token function* to select the name of the function that will return the next token.
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *End function* to select the name of the function that is called when the parser is finished.
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Lextypes function* to select the name of the lextypes function for the parser. The lextypes function returns an array that contains the id, alias, and a description of the tokens used by the parser.
* Use the drop-down listbox next to *Headline function* to select the name of the headline function for the parser. The headline function returns an excerpt from the document in which the terms of the query are highlighted.
Click the *SQL* tab to continue.
