## 12.10. psql Support

 Information about text search configuration objects can be obtained in psql using a set of commands:

```
\dF{d,p,t}[+] [PATTERN]

```

 An optional `+` produces more details.

 The optional parameter *`PATTERN`* can be the name of a text search object, optionally schema-qualified. If *`PATTERN`* is omitted then information about all visible objects will be displayed. *`PATTERN`* can be a regular expression and can provide *separate* patterns for the schema and object names. The following examples illustrate this:

```
=> \dF *fulltext*
       List of text search configurations
 Schema |  Name        | Description
--------+--------------+-------------
 public | fulltext_cfg |

```

```
=> \dF *.fulltext*
       List of text search configurations
 Schema   |  Name        | Description
----------+----------------------------
 fulltext | fulltext_cfg |
 public   | fulltext_cfg |

```

 The available commands are:
