To diverge a little -


Bit of a nood question along these lines -

Does LIKE and ILIKE take into consideration the locale allowing 
insensitive searches in any locale setting?


I know that LIKE can use an index if you don't start the match with a 
wild card. ILIKE doesn't seem to. Is or would it be possible to get 
ILIKE to use a properly configured index as well?
