I want to be able to search a lot of fields using queries that use ILIKE and unfortunately many of the queries will be using the '%SOMETHING%' or '%SOMETHING' type clauses. Since indexes are useless on those I was thinking I could use tsvectors but I can't figure out how to accomplish this.
One option I have seen reccomended is to create a tsvector field and concat the various fields into that field as a tsvector. That would work for general text search but I am not sure how I could query FIELD1 ILIKE '%SOMETHING%' vs FIELD2 ILIKE '%SOMETHING%' . Would using hstore help in this case? I should point out that some of the fields are numbers. I am willing to deal with those separately by building other indexes for them but of course a unified approach would be preferable. Any help would be much appreciated.
