tsearch2: how to plainto_tsquery() with "|" - Mailing list pgsql-general

i can run "...@@ to_tsquery('cat | dog')".

but if i run "...@@ to_tsquery('cat dog')", it gives me a syntax error (#42601).

so i run "...@@ plainto_tsquery('cat dog')".

but then i can't run "...@@ plainto_tsquery('cat | dog')".

can you help before i give up on tsearch2?

thks, jzs
