The pg_ts_dict catalog contains entries
defining text search dictionaries. A dictionary depends on a text
search template, which specifies all the implementation functions
needed; the dictionary itself provides values for the user-settable
parameters supported by the template. This division of labor allows
dictionaries to be created by unprivileged users. The parameters
are specified by a text string dictinitoption
,
whose format and meaning vary depending on the template.
PostgreSQL™'s text search features are described at length in Chapter 12.
