+ <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>
