This is in the FAQ:
   
   When using wild-card operators such as LIKE or ~, indexes can only be
   used in certain circumstances:
       ...
     * The default C locale must be used during initdb because it is not
       possible to know the next-greatest character in a non-C locale.
       You can create a special text_pattern_ops index for such cases
       that work only for LIKE indexing.
