Partial word matching with TSearch can be done, just maintain all lexems
in a separate table, scan that with LIKE '%foo%' in a sub query that
generates the actual TSearch query. Additionally you might combine that
with pg_trgm. Another way is to use the lexems table for fancy auto
completion in AJAX web forms.
