Hi,

How can I add a character as space symbol for the full text search indexes?

I'm adding firewall syslog lines in a database (8.3.7), and have a GIN
index on the message field. I'd like the slash considered a space symbol,
so i can search for IPnumbers in test like

world/123.456.192.46(0) -> some-fwsm/123.456.221.121(0)

preprocess text, for example, using replace(), regexp_replace() functions

Regards,
Oleg

Oke, you mean at the time the insert in de db is done, i suppose.
However, I'm using the new syslog-ng 3 feature which does the
insert directly. So I have to change the syslogd for that.

I understand the ts_search parser is not configurable?

Thanks,

You can substitute your own parser, but the built-in one doesn't have
any provisions for fine-grained configuration.

you can make function f(s) -> replace(replace(s, foo, bar), baz, bar)

and then search and index on f(s)

CREATE INDEX ... ON table ((f(s)));
SELECT s FROM table WHERE f(s) "matches?" '127.0.0.1';
