Well, I spent what free time I had this weekend on documentation, and made only a moderate advance in what I have in my Guide and Reference; in particular I have not yet written the Dictionary section because, never having created a dictionary before, I am still learning myself how to use the `gendict' package. :-) The ranking section that uses Position Weights is also rather sparse since I am still developing my examples about that. Anyway, both documents are as usual up at http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/tsearch-guide.html http://rhodesmill.org/brandon/projects/tsearch-ref.html and you can adjust their formatting however you want to make them consistent with the other tsearch documentation. Since, from what I can tell, all of us are still actively writing our documentation, I would suggest that the tsearch module in PostgreSQL display prominent notice of the fact that better and more up-to-date documentation will constantly be available on the web. Hopefully with more practice I will produce documentation more quickly in the future. :-) Sometimes entire sections come out very quickly, while at other times it takes days to get a few paragraphs together. Hopefully as this deadline is past, and I have the freedom to start putting time into a Python OpenFTS for V2, the additional lessons I will learn will accelerate the development of the Guide. -- Brandon Craig Rhodes br...@rh... http://rhodesmill.org/brandon |
