Wild guess:

The planner doesn't know the actual value of the input-parameter, so the
planner doesn't use the Index.

The planner, in this case, knows the actual value.

You can check the plan with the auto_explain - Extension, and you can
force the planner to create a plan based on the actual input-value by
using dynamic SQL (EXECUTE 'your query string' inside the function)


As i said, wild guess ...
