The locale implementation underlying full-text search was improved. It
now observes the locale provider configured for the database for case
conversions. It was previously hardcoded to use libc. In database
clusters that use a locale provider other than libc (that is, ICU or
builtin) and where the locale configured through that locale provider
behaves differently from the LC_CTYPE setting configured for the database,
this could cause changes in behavior of some functions related to
full-text search as well as the pg_trgm extension. When upgrading such
database clusters using pg_upgrade, it is recommended to reindex all
indexes related to full-text search and pg_trgm after the upgrade.
Change <link linkend="textsearch">full text search</link> to use the
default collation provider of the cluster to read configuration files
and dictionaries, rather than always using libc (Peter Eisentraut)

Clusters that default to non-libc collation providers (e.g., ICU,
builtin) that behave differently than libc for characters processed
by LC_CTYPE could observe changes in behavior of some full-text
search functions, as well as the <xref linkend="pgtrgm"/> extension.
When upgrading such clusters using <xref linkend="pgupgrade"/>, it
is recommended to reindex all indexes related to full-text search
and <application>pg_trgm</application> after the upgrade.
