Maybe you should give tsearch2 a try and create a GIN index.
Regex searches are sometimes a option.

Hello all,
As we are migrating our ERP application from MySQL to PostgreSQL we
have some difficulties. One of them is use of Like and Similar to
operators. We often use LIKE to search a string from front-end without
case sensetivity. As postgreSQL's LIKE is case sensitive, we tried
ILIKE and SIMILAR TO, but both are slower than LIKE and we must need
case insensitivity. How can we get this by increases speed. All search
columns are VARCHAR(100)to VARCHAR(250). Currently without index.
Thanks,
