I'm considering implementing a search box on my review web site
http://lesculturelles.net and am looking for a simple way to match
entered words against several columns on related tables: show.show_name,
story.title, person.firtname, person.lastname, etc.

What is the most elegant way to build a single query to match search
words with multiple columns?

You may want to take a look at contrib/tsearch2.

Thanks Joe, I initially wanted to avoid dipping my toe into tsearch2 but
it might be what I need after all :)

Don't be afraid, it's not so difficult to start.


        Regards,
