>  <TT

  (diacritic signs) from lexemes.
  It's a filtering dictionary, which means its output is
  always passed to the next dictionary (if any), unlike the normal
  behavior of dictionaries.  This allows accent-insensitive processing
  for full text search.

><P
>   Installing the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>unaccent</TT
> extension creates a text
   search template <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>unaccent</TT
> and a dictionary <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>unaccent</TT
>
   based on it.  The <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>unaccent</TT
> dictionary has the default
   parameter setting <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>RULES='unaccent'</TT
>, which makes it immediately
   usable with the standard <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>unaccent.rules</TT
> file.
   If you wish, you can alter the parameter, for example

</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>mydb=# ALTER TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY unaccent (RULES='my_rules');</PRE
><P>

   or create new dictionaries based on the template.
  </P
><P
>   To test the dictionary, you can try:
</P><PRE
CLASS="PROGRAMLISTING"
>mydb=# select ts_lexize('unaccent','H&ocirc;tel');
 ts_lexize

>mydb=# CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION fr ( COPY = french );
mydb=# ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION fr
        ALTER MAPPING FOR hword, hword_part, word
