tsquery_rewrite() tries to find matches to subsets of AND/OR conditions; for example, in the query 'a | b | c' the substitution subquery 'a | c' should match and lead to replacement of the first and third items. That's fine, but the matching algorithm apparently takes about O(2^N) for an N-clause query (I say "apparently" because the code is also both unintelligible and uncommented). We could probably do better than that even without any extra assumptions --- but actually, we know that the subclauses are sorted, indeed are depending on that elsewhere in this very same function. So we can just scan the two lists a single time to detect matches, as though we were doing a merge join. Also do a re-flattening call (QTNTernary()) in tsquery_rewrite_query, just to make sure that the tree fits the expectations of the next search cycle. I didn't try to devise a test case for this, but I'm pretty sure that the oversight could have led to failure to match in some cases where a match would be expected. Improve comments, and also stick a CHECK_FOR_INTERRUPTS into dofindsubquery, just in case it's still too slow for somebody. Per report from Andreas Seltenreich. Back-patch to all supported branches.

PostgreSQL Database Management System ===================================== This directory contains the source code distribution of the PostgreSQL database management system. PostgreSQL is an advanced object-relational database management system that supports an extended subset of the SQL standard, including transactions, foreign keys, subqueries, triggers, user-defined types and functions. This distribution also contains C language bindings. PostgreSQL has many language interfaces, many of which are listed here: http://www.postgresql.org/download See the file INSTALL for instructions on how to build and install PostgreSQL. That file also lists supported operating systems and hardware platforms and contains information regarding any other software packages that are required to build or run the PostgreSQL system. Copyright and license information can be found in the file COPYRIGHT. A comprehensive documentation set is included in this distribution; it can be read as described in the installation instructions. The latest version of this software may be obtained at http://www.postgresql.org/download/. For more information look at our web site located at http://www.postgresql.org/.
