Currently only k-d-tree and suffix-tree are presented. Suffix-tree supports prefix search like btree with *_pattern_ops. (Oleg will corect me if I'm missing something) For the queries you mentioned you may see LIKE acceleration in wildspeed module (http://www.sai.msu.su/~megera/wiki/wildspeed) and pg_trgm of 9.1 ( http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.1/static/pgtrgm.html). ------ With best regards, Alexander Korotkov.
