I need to get to the stage where I can run queries such as:

select street, locality_1, locality_2, city from address
where (city = 'Nottingham' or locality_2 = 'Nottingham'
or locality_1 = 'Nottingham')
and upper(substring(street from 1 for 1)) = 'A'
group by street, locality_1, locality_2, city
order by street
limit 20 offset 0
and have the results very quickly.
This sort of query will be handled nicely in 8.1 - it has bitmap and/or
processing to make use of multiple indexes. Note that 8.1 is in beta now.
