There has been an error made and messages I have written didn't not end up here so I will do a repost on couple ... :) -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you Oleg. I am reading that guide. Its a little too much at one time. I am getting a little confused. I don't have any dictionary yet, but I just found a hunspell dictionary for Arabic : http://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=msameer%40debian.org Now I see Sam wrote too... :) I hope you guys will still be around to help me set it up when I have finished my reading? I have seen earlier posts from you Oleg about dictionaries, so I suppose you know it pretty well. (Not to mention the big pdf file you have written !) I am working on my developer (laptop) now, I prefer if I don't have to repeat all the work later on.. is there away of avoiding this? To only have to do these builds once or create some kind of a batch file and run them on the production server later ( I am afraid I won't remember what I did one inorder to repeat it) Btw, you know if it is possible to combine the Tsearch with Hibernate (HQL) or will I just have to do it all in SQL ? The more dictionaries I use the better? or should I just choose and use only one to build my lexemes and stopwords (etc) ?

Does that come with postgre ? Is it possible to do the same with {hunspell, stemmer(simple?)} / Moe
