You can avoid stemming by using 'simple' instead of 'english' as the language of the words in to_tsvector (which is a little more awkward than the cast).

"There are no stop words for the simple dictionary. It will just convert to lower case, and index every unique word.
SELECT to_tsvector('simple', 'Andy andy The the in out');
 to_tsvector
 -------------------------------------
 'in':5 'out':6 'the':3,4 'andy':1,2
(1 row)

You can't use to_tsquery for this sort of thing, because it tries to
normalize the given words:

regression=# select to_tsquery('holly:*');
to_tsquery
------------
'holli':*
(1 row)

If you do this it works:

regression=# SELECT 'hollywood'::tsvector  @@ 'holly:*'::tsquery;
?column?
----------
t
(1 row)

So if you want to use prefix matching, don't normalize.
