Index scan?

Hi

Does anyone know why the following occurs?

coza=> explain select * from accounts where domain >= '%' order by domain;
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Index Scan using domain_idx on accounts (cost=1434.50 rows=19611 width=106)

and

coza=> explain select * from accounts order by domain;
NOTICE: QUERY PLAN:

Sort (cost=3068.39 rows=58830 width=106)
-> Seq Scan on accounts (cost=3068.39 rows=58830 width=106)

Surely both queries give the same result set, yet the second example does not
use the index causing unnecessary overhead.

I am running version 6.5 (haven't upgraded to 6.5.1 as yet)
