3 The <code class="structname">pg_ts_parser</code> catalog contains entries
4 defining text search parsers. A parser is responsible for splitting
5 input text into lexemes and assigning a token type to each lexeme.
6 Since a parser must be implemented by C-language-level functions,
7 creation of new parsers is restricted to database superusers.
9 <span class="productname">PostgreSQL</span>'s text search features are
10 described at length in <a class="xref" href="textsearch.html" title="Chapter 12. Full Text Search">Chapter 12</a>.
