I'm beginning a port of an Oracle application to PostgrSQL. One immediate issue is the use of the Oracle 'contains' operator to do whole word searches on table rows that contain blank separated lists of names. I was told that the original application was written using the 'like' operator but the contains operator was found to be much faster.

Is there a PostgreSQL equivalent for this type of use of the Oracle contains?

Thanks,
