Public bug reported:

In the prefix search we are using a 'GLOB' sql-statement, this statement
is not using the index and thus slow, some timings from me running the
attached script:

* Database with ~50k events
* ~1% of these event have a subject with uri beginning with 'http://aa'

* searching for all uris beginning with 'http://aa' using the 'GLOB' expression 
(what we have now in lp:zeitgeist) takes ~0.03 sec
* changing this query to some (x >= S AND x < T) statement reduces this time to 
~0.002 sec

This is easy to implement (and test) for ascii chars, but as we support
unicode esp. testing seems to be a bit tricky
