changing text search treatment of puncutation - Mailing list pgsql-general

Text with the '/' character gets treated as a file path, e.g.

select * from to_tsvector('english', 'home/work');

gives only the single token:

'home/work':1

Changing '/' to '-' gives

'home':2 'work':3 'home-work':1

which is much more desirable for this application.

Is there an easy way to change '/' to be treated like '-' ? I've
looked over the documentation several times and could not find
anything. Even just a way to get the two tokens 'home' and 'work'
without the joined form would be helpful.

Thanks,
