Feb 25, 2021 at 14:38 comment added Erwin Brandstetter This is remarkable, but also misleading. The btree index is used because it's smaller than the table, so the index-only scan is faster than a sequential scan on the table. The performance gain is limited, though, and diminished if index-only scans are not possible. And the index is not used in its capacity as index. A non-selective condition like WHERE domains IS NOT NULL will be faster (still "using" the index) than a very selective condition like WHERE 'www.foo12345%' <~~ ANY(domains)! IOW, the index is barely supporting your custom operator as requested.
