I've just started digging into this code a bit, but from what I've
found src/backend/tsearch/wparser_def.c defines much of the parser
functionality, and in the area of Unicode includes a number of
comments like:
* with multibyte encoding and C-locale isw* function may fail or give
wrong result.
* multibyte encoding and C-locale often are used for Asian languages.
* any non-ascii symbol with multibyte encoding with C-locale is an
alpha character
... in concert with ifdefs around WIDE_UPPER_LOWER (in effect if
WCSTOMBS and TOWLOWER are available) to complicate testing scenarios
:)
Also note that src/test/regress/sql/tsearch.sql and
regress/sql/tsdicts.sql currently focus on English, ASCII-only data.
Perhaps this is a good opportunity for you to describe what your
environment looks like (OS, PostgreSQL version, encoding and locale
settings for the database) and show some sample to_tsquery() @@
to_tsvector() queries that don't behave the way you think they should
behave - and we could start building some test cases as a first step?
