Yup:
db=> explain
db-> SELECT obj_property_id
db-> FROM object_property_value opv
db-> WHERE substr(opv.value,1,128) = 'foo';
QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Index Scan using opv_v_ix on object_property_value opv (cost=0.00..4185.78
rows=1101 width=4)
Index Cond: (substr(value, 1, 128) = 'foo'::text)
(2 rows)
