Prev	Up	Chapter 51. System Catalogs	Home	Next

The pg_ts_parser catalog contains entries defining text search parsers. A parser is responsible for splitting input text into lexemes and assigning a token type to each lexeme. Since a parser must be implemented by C-language-level functions, creation of new parsers is restricted to database superusers.

PostgreSQL 's text search features are described at length in Chapter 12 .
