How to use to_tsvector with no-dictionary (no stemming)?

Question

I am using to_tsvector, and it works fine... But a new demand, to preserve exact original words (raw text), need "bypass" as dictionary.

... something like to use to_tsvector('raw', myString) where myString is something like "AATT GAA", no meaning for any dictionary.

Answer 1

Just in case anyone else coming here is looking to really manually create a ts_vector you can skip using to_tsvector entierly (even with the simple dictionary it still sends it through the parser and drops spaces/punctuation e.g. ```to_tsvector('simple', '\Sigma^0_1') breaks that text up into three lexmes 0, 1 and sigma)

As described in this part of the manual and this answer. You simply do this

$$' space containing lexeme ' ' and one with position and weight'5c$$::tsvector;

Answer 2

SELECT to_tsvector('simple','your string');
