 ## Legacy tokenizer
 

+!!! danger
+    The Legacy tokenizer is deprecated and will be removed in Nominatim 5.0.
+    If you still use a database with the legacy tokenizer, you must reimport
+    it using the ICU tokenizer below.
+

 The legacy tokenizer implements the analysis algorithms of older Nominatim
 versions. It uses a special Postgresql module to normalize names and queries.

-This tokenizer is currently the default.
+This tokenizer is automatically installed and used when upgrading an older
+database. It should not be used for new installations anymore.
+
+### Compiling the PostgreSQL module
+
+The tokeinzer needs a special C module for PostgreSQL which is not compiled
+by default. If you need the legacy tokenizer, compile Nominatim as follows:
+
+```
+mkdir build
+cd build
+cmake -DBUILD_MODULE=on
+make
+```
