I have a table with bibliometric information on published articles.
Fields of interest for full text searches are the 'title' and 'abstract'
fields.
Those fields can contain several languages but most of the entries use
English. A grouped query on the 'language' field reveals that the
following languages are involved:
Afrikaans
Chinese
Dutch
English
French
Gaelic (?)
German
Hungarian
Italian
Japanese
Korean
Polish
Portuguese
Rumanian
Russian
Slovene
Sotho
Spanish
Turkish
Xhosa
Zulu
Now my questions:
1. Is it possible at all to use full text search in such a setup?
2. If so, how would I approach the different languages in indexing and
querying.
3. How do I ask postgresql which dictionaries are already available in
the installation for full text search?
4. If full text searches cannot be utilised in such a setup, can
trgm-related indexing using 'similarity' be a replacement? I think
not.
Regards
Johann
