Is it require further tuning

Dear all,

I have a query that i used to fire many times in our application and
need to be tuned at the deeper level.

Query :

explain analyze select p.crawled_page_id, p.content,
w.publication_name, w.country_name, p.publishing_date,m.doc_category
,l.display_name as location, l.lat, l.lon, l.pop_rank,
p.crawled_page_url, substring(p.content,1,250)
as display_text, p.heading from page_content_terror p, location l,
loc_context_terror lc, meta_terror m,
website_master w where p.crawled_page_id>0 and
p.crawled_page_id=lc.source_id and lc.location_id=l.id
and p.crawled_page_id=m.doc_id and p.url_id= w.url_id limit 1000;

Don't know why it uses Seq Scan on loc_context_terror as i have indexes
on the desired columns as well.

Thanks & best Regards,
