Try select item_pk from node where tag='primaryIssuer.entityType' and to_tsvector('english', val) @@ plainto_tsquery('Limited Partnership'); Note that seeing that the scan on the other index is pretty cheap, it's not obvious that indexing the @@ clause is better anyway. But it *can't* index this query using this index. regards, tom lane -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
