It could not. I think the fundamental point here is that it is a real
bad idea for the tsearch routines to make any assumptions about the
current search path. What I would suggest is that the internal objects
used by the tsearch routines (such as pg_ts_cfg) should be required to
live in a specific schema ("tsearch2" seems like a good name) and that
all the internal references inside the tsearch functions should be fully
qualified names.
You could perhaps make this private schema name be selectable at the
time tsearch is built ... but I'm not sure it's worth the trouble.
