In response to Text search with multiple tables  ("Mont Rothstein" <mont.rothstein@gmail.com>)
List pgsql-general
I found a way to do this but I don't know if there is a better way.

What I did was to create a separate index on each table and construct a query like:

SELECT * FROM a WHERE (to_tsvector(...) @@ to_tsquery(...)) OR primaryKey IN (SELECT distinct(foreign_key) FROM b WHERE to_tsvector(...) @@ to_tsquery(...))

Is there a better way to do this?

Thanks,
-Mont

Is it possible to perform a text search with tables A-->>B returning A for matches in B?

What I want to do is to be able take columns from both A and B and perform a search based on the keywords entered by the user that matches A, B, or both but always returns A.

Can this be done?

Thanks,
