Re: [GENERAL] Full text search with plain input

Based on the docs, plainto_tsquery() creates tsquery with the & operator (
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/10/static/functions-textsearch.html), so
the @@ operator will not find partial matches. And this way I cannot
calculate ts_rank for those partial matches.
Now I am thinking about splitting the input text myself to terms, then
searching and ranking the documents for each term. Finally summing the
scores by document. This way the documents with more matching terms would
get greater score.
Please anybody let me know if there is some better/easier solution for this.

Thanks,
Otto
