Thread: Configure StopWords in full text search without a configuration file?

Configure StopWords in full text search without a configuration file?

Hello Postgres Community,

is it possible to configure a StopWord list without a file in the configuration-filesystem of postgres? (StopWord: https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/textsearch-dictionaries.html#TEXTSEARCH-STOPWORDS)

By default, the StopWord files are stored at  $SHAREDIR/tsearch_data/*.stop - I don't have access to the filesystem, so I need to configure custom StopWords within my database/schema (SQL-Access).

Is this somehow possible?

Thank you very much,
Regards
Florian

No, this is impossible.

If you have superuser access or have a user that is a member of
"pg_write_server_files", you could write the stopword file via SQL.
Other than that, I see no possibility.
