Also, a few more questions:
1) When building a trgm index, are there any differences for
multi-byte character strings. For example, would a 2 character
Japanese string (multi-byte offcourse) produce exactly 3 trigrams to
be stored in the index which would later be used while look-up?
2) And if that is so, is there problem in gin_extract_query_trgm(),
that is while generating trigrams from a query search term that causes
trigrams (stored in the index if answer to (1) is yes) NOT to be used
in such a partial matching case?
