do make sure when search for string that has "Y" to return the correct

Could you please show a query that works incorrect for you and the
default_text_search_config setting's value?

Thanks for the help

<div>         We are using to_tsquery and to_tsvector quite a bit.  I have noticed that it is not searching for &quot;Y&quot;.   is there some settings I have to do make sure when search for string that has &quot;Y&quot; to return the correct results?</div>

<div>My guess is that the word you'r searching for ends with 'Y' and stemming removes the ending 'Y'. Try using the 'simple' dictionary, like this:</div>

<div> </div>

<div>WHERE searchable_index_col @@ to_tsquery('simple', 'emily');</div>
