Hi Rafal This function returns the position where the substring is found, so you could do a query with clause position(table1.field in table2.field) The 0 result is not found and maybe, in your case, is faster the use of internal text functions instead of like comparison... hope helps.

At the edge of desperation, I'm thinking of writing a function, that will fetch all the KEYWORDS in one query, then cook explicit WHERE clause by string operations, and then EXECUTE it. With (currently) four keywords, I'd expect such function to return results within 5 seconds at most. > > but I'd expect that there should be a way to "tell this" to postgresql SQL directly.
