Description:
I am trying to do prefix search of emails using full text search. Emails
sometimes contain dot symbols.
Now, select to_tsquery('simple', 'thing.a:*'); returns a single term as
expected but
select to_tsquery('simple', 'the.thing.a:*') suddenly tokenizes my search
expression into 'the.thing':* & 'a':*. At the same time select
to_tsquery('simple', 'the.thing.aa:*'); tokenizes as expected into a single
term.
Also select to_tsquery('simple', 'the.thing@gmail.com'); returns a single
term as expected, but select to_tsquery('simple', 'the.thing@gma:*'); splits
on @ char and returns two tokens.
This behavior is not covered in the official documentation.
