problem is that unaccent() is stable so can't be in the index
expression, so OP would need to create a ts_vector field to store a
preprocessed version of the string (one in which ts_vector('spanish',
unaccent()) has been already executed. and query over that field.
<cough> or create an immutable version of unaccent() </cough>
