I'm thinking of enabling searches that use queries like "select * from items 
where title ilike
'%term%'". The items table has tens of thousands of rows. Is it worth worrying 
about the
performance of such a query (since, if I'm not mistaken, it will never use 
indices). If it is,
what's the best option - use tsearch? How does tsearch (or whatever else) 
compare performance-wise
to not using it, or to typical index-based queries for that matter?

thanks
