[ doesn't use index ]
No, it doesn't. The LIKE index optimization requires the LIKE pattern
to be a constant at plan time, so that the planner can extract the
pattern's fixed prefix. An expression depending on a function parameter
is certainly not constant.
If you really need this to work, you could use EXECUTE USING so that
the query is re-planned for each execution.
