One of the tables we're using in the 8.1.3 setups currently running includes phone numbers as a searchable field (fti_phone), with the results of a select on the field generally looking like this: 'MMM':2 'NNNN':3 'MMM-NNNN':1. MMM is the first three digits, NNNN is the fourth-seventh.

The weird part is this: On the old systems running 8.1.3, I can look up a record by fti_phone using any of the three above items; first three, last four, or entire number including dash. On the new system running 8.3.1, I can do a lookup by the first three or the last four and get the results I'm after, but any attempt to do a lookup by the entire MMM-NNNN version returns no records.

Parser was changed:
postgres=# select  * from ts_debug('123-4567');
 alias |   description    | token | dictionaries | dictionary | lexemes
-------+------------------+-------+--------------+------------+---------
 uint  | Unsigned integer | 123   | {simple}     | simple     | {123}
 int   | Signed integer   | -4567 | {simple}     | simple     | {-4567}
(2 rows)
postgres=# select  * from ts_debug('abc-defj');
alias | description | token | dictionaries | dictionary | lexemes
-----------------+---------------------------------+----------+----------------+--------------+------------
asciihword | Hyphenated word, all ASCII | abc-defj | {english_stem} | english_stem | {abc-defj} hword_asciipart | Hyphenated word part, all ASCII | abc | {english_stem} | english_stem | {abc} blank | Space symbols | - | {} | | hword_asciipart | Hyphenated word part, all ASCII | defj | {english_stem} | english_stem | {defj}

Parser in 8.1 threats any [alnum]+-[alnum]+ as a hyphenated word, but 8.3 treats [digit]+-[digit]+ as two separated numbers.

So, you can play around pre-process texts before indexing or have a look on
