This package contains an ISpell dictionary useful to perform high quality full-text searches in Italian language documents. The package also contains installation and configuration files.
This package can be used to install and configure the ISpell dictionary in all supported PostgreSQL versions.
You can use the PGXN Client to install the dictionary:
$ [sudo] pgxn install italian_fts
This installs the extension files in the PostgreSQL cluster. Please check pgxn install options if you have more than one cluster.
After the package has been installed you can use SQL command CREATE EXTENSION to make the dictionary available in a database:
CREATE EXTENSION italian_fts;
The extension creates a text search dictionary italian_ispell and a text
search configuration also called italian_ispell using the dictionary as a
default and falling back to the Snowball stemmer italian_stem (installed
by default by PostgreSQL) when a word is not found. Here is a result of the
process of a sample text with the italian_ispell configuration:
=# select token, dictionary, lexemes
from ts_debug('italian_ispell', $$
Né più mai toccherò le sacre sponde
ove il mio corpo fanciulletto giacque,
Zacinto mia, che te specchi nell'onde
del greco mar da cui vergine nacque
...
$$)
where array_upper(lexemes,1) <> 0;
