Re: [PERFORM] Tsearch2 really slower than ilike ?

[Joshua D. Drake]

or more.
   

Yes site name ... is company names or web site name ... so not many word in 
each record ... but I don't understand why more words are more efficient than 
few words ?? sorry ...
 

Well there are a couple of reasons but the easiest one is index size.
An ILIKE btree index is in general going to be much smaller than a gist 
index.
The smaller the index the faster it is searched.
