websearch_to_tsquery

Converts text to a tsquery, normalizing words according to the specified or default configuration. Quoted word sequences are converted to phrase tests. The word “or” is understood as producing an OR operator, and a dash produces a NOT operator; other punctuation is ignored. This approximates the behavior of some common web search tools.

English manual coverage begins with PostgreSQL 7.1. Source history and runtime observations have their own recorded version boundaries.
