That said, which would be the best extension module to use? A gist index
on the uppercased column?
Or something else? Thanks!

That index wouldn't help with the query at all.
If you really need a full substring search (i.e., you want to find
howardjohnson), the only thing that could help are trigram indexes.
I stand corrected.
I ran a sample query on my test
Thanks everyone.
Either I'm not that smart or I am working on too many things at once (or
both) but making Full Text work seems super tedious. I just have a single
VARCHAR field for name, so the full name William S. Burroughs is a single
row and column. I want to as simply as possible have the

As far as I can tell, the trigram extension would be the easiest way to

As far as I can
I notice there are several modules to create specialized indices in
PostgreSQL for searching VARCHAR data. For example, fuzzy, trigram, full
text, etc.
I've been googling around but I can't find the optimal method (reasonable
speed and size, simplicity) for my use case.
My text searches will

The reason is that GIN/GIST use language patterns to simplify the index.
so they work great on words
select plainto_tsquery('doing watching reading programming');
'watch' 'read' 'program'
but not so great on names:
