Thread: TSearch still in contrib?

TSearch still in contrib?

Hello,

Is there any reason why TSearch (not TSearch2) is still in
contrib? TSearch is a 7.3.x module...

Sincerely,

Joshua D. Drake

I believe it was left in for backwards compatibility and afaik it still builds 
in the 8.0 tree. If you'd like to make the argument that 8.0 is a good time 
to remove it go ahead. The first couple lines of README.tsearch might help:
"This module is deprecated in 7.4 version of PostgreSQL and will be
obsoleted in 8.0. Please, use new tsearch2 contrib module."

Compiling and working are different things :). To be fair I haven't
tested TSearch on 8.0 but since it is considered outdated... perhaps we
should remove it.
