</pre></div><div class="refsect1" id="id-1.9.3.90.5"><h2>Description</h2><p>
<code class="command">CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER</code> creates a new text search
parser. A text search parser defines a method for splitting a text
string into tokens and assigning types (categories) to the tokens.
A parser is not particularly useful by itself, but must be bound into a
text search configuration along with some text search dictionaries
to be used for searching.
</p><p>
If a schema name is given then the text search parser is created in the
specified schema. Otherwise it is created in the current schema.
</p><p>
You must be a superuser to use <code class="command">CREATE TEXT SEARCH PARSER</code>.
(This restriction is made because an erroneous text search parser
definition could confuse or even crash the server.)
</p><p>
Refer to <a class="xref" href="textsearch.html" title="Chapter 12. Full Text Search">Chapter 12</a> for further information.

The name of the headline function for the parser (a function that

The function names can be schema-qualified if necessary. Argument types
are not given, since the argument list for each type of function is
predetermined. All except the headline function are required.
</p><p>
The arguments can appear in any order, not only the one shown above.
