Index Support <a href="#PGTRGM-INDEX" class="id_link">#</a></h3></div></div></div><p> The <code class="filename">pg_trgm</code> module provides GiST and GIN index operator classes that allow you to create an index over a text column for the purpose of very fast similarity searches. These index types support the above-described similarity operators, and additionally support trigram-based index searches for <code class="literal">LIKE</code>, <code class="literal">ILIKE</code>, <code class="literal">~</code>, <code class="literal">~*</code> and <code class="literal">=</code> queries. The similarity comparisons are case-insensitive in a default build of <code class="filename">pg_trgm</code>. Inequality operators are not supported. Note that those indexes may not be as efficient as regular B-tree indexes for equality operator. </p><p> Example: </p><pre class="programlisting"> CREATE TABLE test_trgm (t text); CREATE INDEX trgm_idx ON test_trgm USING GIST (t gist_trgm_ops); </pre><p> or </p><pre class="programlisting"> CREATE INDEX trgm_idx ON test_trgm USING GIN (t gin_trgm_ops); </pre><p> </p><p> <code class="literal">gist_trgm_ops</code> GiST opclass approximates a set of trigrams as a bitmap signature. Its optional integer parameter <code class="literal">siglen</code> determines the signature length in bytes. The default length is 12 bytes. Valid values of signature length are between 1 and 2024 bytes. Longer signatures lead to a more precise search (scanning a smaller fraction of the index and fewer heap pages), at the cost of a larger index. </p><p> Example of creating such an index with a signature length of 32 bytes: </p><pre class="programlisting"> CREATE INDEX trgm_idx ON test_trgm USING GIST (t gist_trgm_ops(siglen=32)); </pre><p> At this point, you will have an index on the <code class="structfield">t</code> column that you can use for similarity searching. A typical query is </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT t, similarity(t, '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>') AS sml FROM test_trgm WHERE t % '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>' ORDER BY sml DESC, t; </pre><p> This will return all values in the text column that are sufficiently similar to <em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>, sorted from best match to worst. The index will be used to make this a fast operation even over very large data sets. </p><p> A variant of the above query is </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT t, t <-> '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>' AS dist FROM test_trgm ORDER BY dist LIMIT 10; </pre><p> This can be implemented quite efficiently by GiST indexes, but not by GIN indexes. It will usually beat the first formulation when only a small number of the closest matches is wanted. </p><p> Also you can use an index on the <code class="structfield">t</code> column for word similarity or strict word similarity. Typical queries are: </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT t, word_similarity('<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>', t) AS sml FROM test_trgm WHERE '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>' <% t ORDER BY sml DESC, t; </pre><p> and </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT t, strict_word_similarity('<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>', t) AS sml FROM test_trgm WHERE '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>' <<% t ORDER BY sml DESC, t; </pre><p> This will return all values in the text column for which there is a continuous extent in the corresponding ordered trigram set that is sufficiently similar to the trigram set of <em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>, sorted from best match to worst. The index will be used to make this a fast operation even over very large data sets. </p><p> Possible variants of the above queries are: </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT t, '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>' <<-> t AS dist FROM test_trgm ORDER BY dist LIMIT 10; </pre><p> and </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT t, '<em class="replaceable"><code>word</code></em>' <<<-> t AS dist FROM test_trgm ORDER BY dist LIMIT 10; </pre><p> This can be implemented quite efficiently by GiST indexes, but not by GIN indexes. </p><p> Beginning in <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> 9.1, these index types also support index searches for <code class="literal">LIKE</code> and <code class="literal">ILIKE</code>, for example </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT * FROM test_trgm WHERE t LIKE '%foo%bar'; </pre><p> The index search works by extracting trigrams from the search string and then looking these up in the index. The more trigrams in the search string, the more effective the index search is. Unlike B-tree based searches, the search string need not be left-anchored. </p><p> Beginning in <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span> 9.3, these index types also support index searches for regular-expression matches (<code class="literal">~</code> and <code class="literal">~*</code> operators), for example </p><pre class="programlisting"> SELECT * FROM test_trgm WHERE t ~ '(foo|bar)'; </pre><p> The index search works by extracting trigrams from the regular expression and then looking these up in the index. The more trigrams that can be extracted from the regular expression, the more effective the index search is. Unlike B-tree based searches, the search string need not be left-anchored. </p><p> For both <code class="literal">LIKE</code> and regular-expression searches, keep in mind that a pattern with no extractable trigrams will degenerate to a full-index scan. </p><p> The choice between GiST and GIN indexing depends on the relative performance characteristics of GiST and GIN, which are discussed elsewhere. </p></div><div class="sect2" id="PGTRGM-TEXT-SEARCH"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title">F.35.5. Text Search Integration <a href="#PGTRGM-TEXT-SEARCH" class="id_link">#</a></h3></div></div></div><p> Trigram matching is a very useful tool when used in conjunction with a full text index. In particular it can help to recognize misspelled input words that will not be matched directly by the full text search mechanism. </p><p> The first step is to generate an auxiliary table containing all the unique words in the documents: </p><pre class="programlisting"> CREATE TABLE words AS SELECT word FROM ts_stat('SELECT to_tsvector(''simple'', bodytext) FROM documents'); </pre><p> where <code class="structname">documents</code> is a table that has a text field <code class="structfield">bodytext</code> that we wish to search. The reason for using the <code class="literal">simple</code> configuration with the <code class="function">to_tsvector</code> function, instead of using a language-specific configuration, is that we want a list of the original (unstemmed) words. </p><p> Next, create a trigram index on the word column: </p><pre class="programlisting"> CREATE INDEX words_idx ON words USING GIN (word gin_trgm_ops); </pre><p> Now, a <code class="command">SELECT</code> query similar to the previous example can be used to suggest spellings for misspelled words in user search terms. A useful extra test is to require that the selected words are also of similar length to the misspelled word. </p><div class="note"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> Since the <code class="structname">words</code> table has been generated as a separate, static table, it will need to be periodically regenerated so that it remains reasonably up-to-date with the document collection.
