nearly equivalent to the result of performing <CODE

equivalence is not exact, because any stop-words removed from the

><P
> The <CODE
CLASS="FUNCTION"
>ts_rewrite</CODE
> family of functions search a
given <TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>tsquery</TT
> for occurrences of a target
subquery, and replace each occurrence with a
substitute subquery. In essence this operation is a
<TT
CLASS="TYPE"
>tsquery</TT
>-specific version of substring replacement.
A target and substitute combination can be
thought of as a <I
CLASS="FIRSTTERM"
>query rewrite rule</I
>. A collection
of such rewrite rules can be a powerful search aid.
For example, you can expand the search using synonyms
(e.g., <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>new york</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>big apple</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>nyc</TT
>,
<TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>gotham</TT
>) or narrow the search to direct the user to some hot
topic. There is some overlap in functionality between this feature
and thesaurus dictionaries (<A
HREF="textsearch-dictionaries.html#TEXTSEARCH-THESAURUS"
>Section 12.6.4</A

However, you can modify a set of rewrite rules on-the-fly without
reindexing, whereas updating a thesaurus requires reindexing to be
effective.
