Greetings!

My original problem is to de duplicate a list of  around 0.3 million 
company names.

Since a company name can be potentially (mis)spelt in numerous ways 
exactmatch
obviously wont work.

To make the searches faster i am using tsearch. For each company name i 
want to
search other companies whose name is similar to the company in question.

Since inclusion of all the vector elements of a given company reduces the
chance of matching i am thinking of excluding the high frequency words
from the query.

Hence i need to find the high frequency elements like say 'consulting' , 
'limited' , 'Private'
'Industries' that occur commonly in company names.

In my table i have populated the co_name_vec feild as 
strip(to_tsvector(co_name))
can anyone help me analyzing the co_name_vec for the high frequency words?

Also i would like to know alternate / better solution to this problem.


Regds
Mallah.
