Should have added:
To make it stick between sessions you can use a psqlrc file. They are
handy for customizing psql in general. These can be system wide or per

linked to.

Everything I tried found every page with either the word custom, the word prompt, or both words somewhere in the message. I just wanted to search for messages containing the exact phrase "custom prompt".

Not sure about that mailing list, but using custom prompt in the search
box in the docs finds the page I posted.
