Something like this :
-----
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION multi_tsearch2() RETURNS TRIGGER AS '
DECLARE
BEGIN
NEW.fti_title = to_tsvector(''default'', NEW.title);
NEW.fti_author_list = to_tsvector(''simple'', NEW.author_list);
RETURN NEW;
END;
' LANGUAGE 'PLPGSQL';
CREATE TRIGGER tsvectorupdate_all
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE ON publications
FOR EACH ROW
EXECUTE PROCEDURE multi_tsearch2();
----
You can modify the function to be slightly more configurable with parameters
taking the column names, and config names and make it a little more reusable.
You can accomplish what you want though.
