In this article we continue our research on how to implement field level text search by using a datatype specific to Postgres - a HStore column. Next we'll use GIN / GiST indexes which ware described in the opening article of this series and we'll try to implement the described concept using Spring Data JPA, Hibernate and Postgres.

In this article we continue our research on how to implement field level text search by creating a companion translations table for each class. We'll use GIN / GiST indexes which ware described in the opening article of this series and we'll try to implement the described concept using Spring Data JPA, Hibernate and Postgres.
