Match a phrase ending in a prefix with full text search

Question

I\'m looking for a way to emulate something like SELECT * FROM table WHERE attr LIKE \'%text%\' using a tsvector in PostgreSQL.

I\'ve created a tsvector

Answer 1

SELECT title
FROM table
WHERE title_tsv @@ to_tsquery('zend') and
title_tsv @@ to_tsquery('fram:*')  

is equivalent to:

SELECT title
FROM table
WHERE title_tsv @@ to_tsquery('zend & fram:*')

but of course that finds "Zend has no framework" as well.

You could of course express a regular expression match against title after the tsquery match, but you would have to use explain analyze to make sure that was being executed after the tsquery instead of before.
