Actually, when I try this here, it seems like the stemming *is*
consistent:
regression=# SELECT to_tsvector('english', 'Boyer-Moore-Horspool');
to_tsvector
----------------------------------------------------------
'boyer':2 'boyer-moore-horspool':1 'horspool':4 'moor':3
(1 row)
regression=# SELECT to_tsvector('english', 'Boyer-Moore');
to_tsvector
-----------------------------------
'boyer':2 'boyer-moor':1 'moor':3
(1 row)
If you try variants of that where the first or third term is stemmable,
say
regression=# SELECT to_tsvector('english', 'Boyers-Moore-Horspool');
to_tsvector
-----------------------------------------------------------
'boyer':2 'boyers-moore-horspool':1 'horspool':4 'moor':3
(1 row)
it sure appears that each component word is stemmed independently
already. So I think the original explanation here is wrong and
we need to probe more closely.
