When I set it before testing the plan with a simple explain on the query it definitely gets it to use all of the indexes. Does setting something like "enable_seqscan=off" work when I follow it with a "refresh materialized view concurrently" instead of a simple select? I'll try it to see if it helps the refresh time, but I thought I'd ask.
(I got pulled into another problem since my last email, so I haven't had a chance to follow up.)
