Chris,
please download and test new version of tsearch2 module (note, '2' )
from http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/postgres/gist/tsearch/V2/
It should be now fully incompatible with old tsearch module.
I've checked only functionality, because I have no old tsearch installation.
So, please, check if the new version will not clashes with old tsearch.

Oh, yes. But we have to find out how to write more flexible parser which
should be locale aware and have unicode support. Also, we need more
flexible parser<->dictionary interaction. A lot of things to think :)
