[GENERAL] Prefix search, word completion, full text search

Hi !

I am playing with the new full text search in PostgreSQL 8.3. I would like to search for prefixes to allow to complete words. For example, if I have the lexemes 'foo', 'foobar' and 'bar', I would like to get all the words whose prefix is 'foo', i.e 'foo' and 'foobar'.

GIST or GIN (I don't remember) should allow to search for prefix. How can I query them?

Thanks.
