Well, this isn't one of those, "How do I do X" but rather something they
will only know they need if they wonder why their LIKE queries are slow
--- that isn't going to be obvious to too many people. An FAQ may be
required for this --- fortunately we already have an item for indexes.

That is one thing I liked about the initdb mention --- it clearly told
them to watch out for something they might not have been looking for.
