Oleg,
This looks like a great module, do you have a pointer to it in English?
unfortunately, no.
If can send this module to me as a compressed file, I'll take the time
to post it on PgFoundry as a new project that everyone can easily
access and download.
it can not be a contrib module, since index support for LIKE requires
core patching. Just download
http://v8.1c.ru/overview/postgresql_patches/1c_FULL_81-0.11.patch,
it contains contrib/mchar module.
Paul- if you go with the lower() edits route, be sure to note Joshua's
coment on the funcional index- one of the best, unknown features in
PG.

Paul,
we have contrib module mchar, which does what you need. We developed it
when porting from MS SQL one very popular in Russia accounting software.
It's available from http://v8.1c.ru/overview/postgres_patches_notes.htm,
in Russian. I don't rememeber about license, though.
