Hey guys,

thanks for the quick response!
Like Andreas told me, I executed the tsearch2.sql script which installed 
the data types and function. If I execute SELECT to_tsvector('bla') it 
returns 'bla' :1, so I think it works fine.

But if I try to fill the searchtable, the same error message appears: 
ERROR: function to_tsvector() does not exist

Like Bernhard mentioned, it seems that I call the funtion without an 
argument. But when I look at the example in the installation guide on 
page 16, it seems to me, that I have to:


CREATE TABLE public.searchtable
(
searchstring text, --the search string (all lower case), e.g. "z~ 1 
richstrasse 46, 8610 uster"

displaytext text NOT NULL, --the display text for the search combobox, 
e.g. "Z~ 1 richstrasse 46, 8610 Uster (address

search_category text, --should have a leading two digit number:, e.g.
--"03_parcels", where 03 is the order of the search categories, the number
--should be unique across all search tables
the_geom geometry,
--the actual geometry
geometry_type text,
--the geometry type as returned by ST_GeometryType(the_geom)
searchstring_tsvector tsvector, *-- be sure to fill this with to_tsvector()*
CONSTRAINT searchtable_pkey PRIMARY KEY (displaytext)
)
WITH (
OIDS=FALSE
);


Cheers,
