TIN v1.0.6 adds stemming and claims a 2–3× speedup
The update adds stemming and heap-attribute tiebreakers for top-k ordering; PlanetScale says TIN v1.0.6 is 2–3× faster and has regained the lead in its comparisons. Database engineers evaluating Postgres full-text search can assess the index’s feature and performance claims.
- What
- - TIN v1.0.6 is a Postgres full-text search index release adding stemming and heap-attribute tiebreakers for top-k queries.
- How
- - Stemming maps word forms such as “running” and “runs” to a shared stem; TIN now uses the same block-max plan for tiebreaker queries.
- Why it matters
- - Stemming supports 18 languages, but using it requires rebuilding the index; deterministic tiebreakers can also avoid scoring every matching document.
