tsearch is included from 8.3 onwards. 8.2 does not have it built it.
You'd have to go into the contrib directory and build it (if you built
pgsql from source) and then install it from there. But upgrading from
8.2 with tsearch added on to 8.3 is a bit of a pain, so I'd strongly
suggest just going to 8.3 if you can. If 8.2.4 is missing a contrib
dir, and you installed from packages it's likely you didn't install
the 8.2.4-contrib package.
