<P>When using wild-card operators such as <SMALL>LIKE</SMALL> or

+ <I>~</I>, indexes can only be used if the default C local is used
+during initdb and the beginning of the search
is anchored to the start of the string. Therefore, to use indexes,
<SMALL>LIKE</SMALL> patterns must not start with <I>%</I>, and
<I>~</I>(regular expression) patterns must start with <I>^</I>.</P>
