Greetings Dear
I hope you are fine and doing well.
I have a created a dictionary in postgres successfully
but how may I know that I'm using it?
because I'm doing now queries and the results are the same before I created the dictionary
I downloaded an rar folder that I supposed its a dictionary
i copied a files called th_ar.dat and ar.aff and pasted them in tsearch folder in postgres folder and renamed them as the_ar.dict and th_ar.affix
as the documentation in postgres told me
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch-dictionaries.html#TEXTSEARCH-ISPELL-DICTIONARY
I created the dictionary by this query
CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY arabic_dict (
TEMPLATE = ispell,
DictFile = th_ar,
AffFile = th_ar,
Stopwords = arabic);
and as you know the purpose in dictionary is like when you're searching for an example a "house" the results will also retrieve a records with "home" because it's a synonymous but when I run queries nothing happens
so my questions are
1)is there anything I should do before do the query to use the dictionary?
2) is there any chance that I'm doing something wrong ? please mention them?
3) how i know that the dictionary I'm using is correct ?
thank you for your efforts
my best regards
