The general advantage is possibility of usage wildcard search and trigram
similarity search using the same index.
I expect that GIN trigram index is slightly less space demanding, but
slightly slower on search than wildspeed. Also, I expect GiST trigram index
to be slower on search, but faster on updates. While I didn't check these
assumptions in details.
I've lack of test datasets for sufficient testing, and I would like to ask
community to help me with it. Because testing on dictionaries is good,
but obviously
not enough.
