​Create a custom dictionary configuration that defines the abbreviations as
"stop words" ​and use it to parse the input query.

http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.3/interactive/textsearch-controls.html
12.3.2. Parsing Queries
to_tsquery([ config regconfig, ] querytext text) returns tsquery

The documentation is hopefully sufficiently helpful for describing how to
create a custom configuration and make use of it.
