tsearch2: Error: Word is too long

From
psql-mail@freeuk.com
Date:
I tried to index my data with tsearch2 but I get the following error:

Error: Word is too long

I have looked through the docs and googled for "Word is too long" +
tsearch2 with no luck - so i hope i haven't missed something obvious.

The problem is due to binary encodings in the data, base64 etc.

Can i supply a max word length somewhere?
and how can I find out what the max limit is?

Thanks!

Max word length is 2Kb. Unfortunately there is no simple way to redefine it.
Other problem is why do you need to index base64 ?

Bad form to reply to my own posting i know but -

I notice that the integer dictionary can accept MAXLEN for the longest
number that is considered a valid integer. Can i set MAXLEN for the en
dictionary to be the longest word i want indexed?

I think i'd need to create a new dictionary...?

You're right. This is what I want to recommend you.
