Обсуждение: text search synonym dictionary anomaly with numbers
I am working with street address data in which 'first st' has been
entered as '1 st' and so on. So I have created a text search
dictionary with entries:
first 1
1st 1
And initially it seems to be working properly:
SELECT ts_lexize('rwg_synonym','first');
ts_lexize
-----------
{1}
SELECT ts_lexize('rwg_synonym','1st');
ts_lexize
-----------
{1}
But my queries on '1st' are not returning the expected results:
SELECT count(*) FROM parcel_attrib WHERE txtsrch @@ to_tsquery('1');
count
-------
403 <- this is what I want
SELECT count(*) FROM parcel_attrib WHERE txtsrch @@ to_tsquery('first');
count
-------
403 <- this is also good
SELECT count(*) FROM parcel_attrib WHERE txtsrch @@ to_tsquery('1st');
count
-------
4 <- this is not good. There are 4 records that do have '1st',
but why am I not getting 403 records?
Thanks for reading,
Rich

Richard,
you should check your mapping - '1st' belongs to 'numword' and may be processed
in a different way than 'first' or '1'.

Oleg,
Thank you. I am sure that you have identified my problem.
\dF+ english (output below) lists my dictionary which is named
'rwg_synonym' before numword so I would have thought that my
dictionary would have normalized '1st' to '1' before the numword
dictionary was reached. Maybe this question belongs in a new thread,
but I do thank you for helping me to look in the correct place.
Best regards,
Rich

To answer my own question - my synonym dictionary was not be applied
to '1st' because '1st' is a numword, not an asciiword, and my synonym
dictionary was not mapped to numword. To map a dictionary token class:
ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION english
ALTER MAPPING FOR numword WITH my_synonym_dictionary, simple;
The dictionary must already have been created with CREATE TEXT SEARCH
DICTIONARY
