PostgreSQL Full-Text Search - Polish Dictionary

1. Go to sjp.pl and download sjp-ispell-pl-[date]-src.tar.bz2 file.
2. Unpack the file and cd to the directory.
3. Download Polish stopwords from GitHub repo and save it in the current directory.
4. Convert encodings to utf-8 and give proper extensions to files:

   $ iconv -f ISO_8859-2 -t utf-8 polish.aff > polish.affix
   $ iconv -f ISO_8859-2 -t utf-8 polish.all > polish.dict
   $ mv polish.stopwords.txt polish.stop

5. Copy files to pg_config --sharedir directory:

   $ sudo cp polish.affix `pg_config --sharedir`/tsearch_data/
   $ sudo cp polish.dict `pg_config --sharedir`/tsearch_data/
   $ sudo cp polish.stop `pg_config --sharedir`/tsearch_data/

6. Now, in postgres:

   CREATE TEXT SEARCH DICTIONARY pl_ispell (
     Template = ispell,
     DictFile = polish,
     AffFile = polish,
     StopWords = polish
   );
   
   CREATE TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION pl_ispell(parser = default);
   
   ALTER TEXT SEARCH CONFIGURATION pl_ispell
     ALTER MAPPING FOR asciiword, asciihword, hword_asciipart, word, hword, hword_part
     WITH pl_ispell;
   

7. Test, in postgres:

   SELECT to_tsvector('pl_ispell', 'Czuję się mniej więcej tak, jak ktoś, kto bujał w obłokach i nagle spadł.');
   
   output:
                                         to_tsvector
