PostgreSQL version: 14.5
Operating system: macos ventura version 13.5
Description:

hey , i am getting empty query result while using postgres regex operator
"^" , ".*" etc . I am able to use "%" correctly but not getting any response
for other regex operator . For example - There is a user in users table
with > first_name - "aman", last_name - "kumar" .
But while quering i am not getting any result while querying users table
->

1) SELECT id from users where concat(users.first_name, ' ', users.last_name)
ILIKE '^am'
2) SELECT id from users where concat(users.first_name, ' ', users.last_name)
ILIKE 'am.*'
3) SELECT id from users where concat(users.first_name, ' ', users.last_name)
ILIKE '^am%'

Above queries didnt return any result

But it works for this query -

SELECT id from users where concat(users.first_name, ' ', users.last_name)
ILIKE 'am%' LIMIT 100
