Testing a Dictionary

The ts_lexize function facilitates dictionary testing.

ts_lexize(dict regdictionary, token text) returns text[] ts_lexize returns an array of lexemes if the input token is known to the dictionary, or an empty array if the token is known to the dictionary but it is a stop word, or NULL if it is an unknown word.

For example:

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

SELECT ts_lexize('english_stem', 'stars'); ts_lexize ----------- {star} SELECT ts_lexize('english_stem', 'a'); ts_lexize ----------- {}

The ts_lexize function expects a single token, not text.
