Thanks for all the replies. It actually has to do with the locales. The
db where the index gets used is running on C vs the the other one that
uses en_US.UTF-8. I guess the db with the wrong locale will need to be
waxed and recreated with correct locale settings. I wonder if there are
any plans to make LIKE work with all locales.
Again, many thanks. You guys are great!
