<code class="filename">dict_xsyn</code> (Extended Synonym Dictionary) is an example of an
add-on dictionary template for full-text search. This dictionary type
replaces words with groups of their synonyms, and so makes it possible to
search for a word using any of its synonyms.
</p><div class="sect2" id="id-1.11.7.23.4"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">F.14.1. Configuration</h3></div></div></div><p>
A <code class="literal">dict_xsyn</code> dictionary accepts the following options:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="literal">matchorig</code> controls whether the original word is accepted by
the dictionary. Default is <code class="literal">true</code>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="literal">matchsynonyms</code> controls whether the synonyms are
accepted by the dictionary. Default is <code class="literal">false</code>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="literal">keeporig</code> controls whether the original word is included in
the dictionary's output. Default is <code class="literal">true</code>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="literal">keepsynonyms</code> controls whether the synonyms are included in
the dictionary's output. Default is <code class="literal">true</code>.
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
<code class="literal">rules</code> is the base name of the file containing the list of
synonyms. This file must be stored in
<code class="filename">$SHAREDIR/tsearch_data/</code> (where <code class="literal">$SHAREDIR</code> means
the <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> installation's shared-data directory).
Its name must end in <code class="literal">.rules</code> (which is not to be included in
the <code class="literal">rules</code> parameter).
</p></li></ul></div><p>
The rules file has the following format:
</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist" style="list-style-type: disc; "><li class="listitem"><p>
Each line represents a group of synonyms for a single word, which is
given first on the line. Synonyms are separated by whitespace, thus:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
word syn1 syn2 syn3
</pre><p>
</p></li><li class="listitem"><p>
The sharp (<code class="literal">#</code>) sign is a comment delimiter. It may appear at
any position in a line. The rest of the line will be skipped.
</p></li></ul></div><p>
Look at <code class="filename">xsyn_sample.rules</code>, which is installed in
<code class="filename">$SHAREDIR/tsearch_data/</code>, for an example.
</p></div><div class="sect2" id="id-1.11.7.23.5"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">F.14.2. Usage</h3></div></div></div><p>
Installing the <code class="literal">dict_xsyn</code> extension creates a text search
template <code class="literal">xsyn_template</code> and a dictionary <code class="literal">xsyn</code>
based on it, with default parameters. You can alter the
parameters, for example
</p><pre class="programlisting">
mydb# ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY xsyn (RULES='my_rules', KEEPORIG=false);
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY
</pre><p>
or create new dictionaries based on the template.
</p><p>
To test the dictionary, you can try
</p><pre class="programlisting">
mydb=# SELECT ts_lexize('xsyn', 'word');
ts_lexize
-----------------------
{syn1,syn2,syn3}
mydb# ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY xsyn (RULES='my_rules', KEEPORIG=true);
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY
mydb=# SELECT ts_lexize('xsyn', 'word');
ts_lexize
-----------------------
{word,syn1,syn2,syn3}
mydb# ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY xsyn (RULES='my_rules', KEEPORIG=false, MATCHSYNONYMS=true);
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY
mydb=# SELECT ts_lexize('xsyn', 'syn1');
ts_lexize
-----------------------
{syn1,syn2,syn3}
mydb# ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY xsyn (RULES='my_rules', KEEPORIG=true, MATCHORIG=false, KEEPSYNONYMS=false);
ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY
mydb=# SELECT ts_lexize('xsyn', 'syn1');
ts_lexize
-----------------------
{word}
</pre><p>
Real-world usage will involve including it in a text search
configuration as described in <a class="xref" href="textsearch.html" title="Chapter 12. Full Text Search">Chapter 12</a>.
That might look like this:
</p><pre class="programlisting">
ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION english
ALTER MAPPING FOR word, asciiword WITH xsyn, english_stem;
</pre><p>
</p></div></div><div class="navfooter"><hr /><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="dict-int.html" title="F.13. dict_int">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="contrib.html" title="Appendix F.
