I get the following output from explain analyze on a certain subset of

Try increases the statistics on the listprice column with alter
table and then re-run analyze.
alter table foo alter column set statistics <n>

From the looks of it, I need to increase how often postgres uses an
index over a seq scan, but I'm not sure how to do that. I looked
through the run-time configuration docs on the website, but didn't see
anything pertaining to index selectivity.
Thanks,
