According to README.tsearch from 7.4beta (not tsearch2 which is the new one)

Current syntax allows creating trigger for several columns
you want to be searchable:

create trigger txtidxupdate before update or insert on titles
for each row execute procedure tsearch(titleidx, title1, title2,... );

Perhaps see what 7.3.4's tsearch says - that should be compatible with 7.3.1
