Hi,
I'm trying to figure out what information retrieval model[1]
the PostgreSQL Full-Text Search is based on.
Based on my reading on the PostgreSQL documentation I would have guessed
extended boolean model but I came across an web article by Compose[2]
which claims that FTS is based on vector space model instead. The
article does not offer anything to back this claim so I thought to ask
here if anyone has more accurate details to share.
I've tried to look this up from postgresql sources but so far I have not found
anything.
Timo
