the transformed String or null if the original String is null

transformStringForPartialWordIndexation

public static final String transformStringForPartialWordIndexation(String originalString,
                                                                   char delimiter)

Returns:

the transformed String (or null if the original String is null) to be used by the postgres function to_ts_vector

the transformed string (or null if the original String is null) to be use by the postgres function plainto_tsquery)
