followed by example doesn't work
The following documentation comment has been logged on the website:
Page: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/textsearch-intro.html
Description:
I copied the text in the followed by example: SELECT to_tsvector('fatal
error') @@ to_tsquery('fatal <-> error');
but it will always goes in error: ERROR: syntax error in tsquery: "fatal
<-> error"
SQL state: 42601
I find two ways to solve the problem:
1. remove the space inside the to_tsquery string to obtain 'fatal<->error'
2. use plainto_tsquery instead of to_tsquery.

The described symptoms sound like you're trying to use <-> with a pre-9.6
server. Since that feature was added in 9.6, it won't work.
We generally don't recommend reading documentation versions that don't
match your server.

My interpretation of the doc reading advice is to read the newest version
of the docs to learn about stuff but if you come across any errors, syntax
or otherwise, then read your doc version to see how older releases differ.
Non-bug enhancements to the docs are not usually back-patched and knowing
how current releases work is valuable knowledge to have.

Thanks for the tip!
But it could be better improve the documentation highlighting that in
previous versions there was a bug.

I see no bug here ... failing to recognize an operator that was added in
later versions can hardly be classed as a bug.

If you wish to have a given operator supported in a past version of
Postgres, you could have it done in the shape of an extension as well.
There are many people and companies able to do so if you cannot.
