Re: Text searching HTML

to_tsvector. You can pass the to_tsvector two parameters.  The first appears to be a dictionary and the second text.
Isthere by chance an English HTML dictionary?  That way html tags or html attributes would be ignored.
 

I believe all the built-in text search configurations ignore HTML tags by
default, since they have no mapping for the "tag" token type that the
built-in parser reports those as.  You could of course make a custom
configuration that acts differently.
