The index cannot be used for LIKE ($1 || '%') because there is no way the
planner can guarantee the value of $1 isn't something like "%mid" which
would resolve to "LIKE (%mid%)" which is a mid-string search which the index
will not help with.
If you place a constant at the front of the like pattern it can use the
index to get into the region with the matching prefix.
