Indexes on both void and lower(cust_name) here..

I get ->

EXPLAIN select * from invoice_master WHERE lower(cust_name) like 'mitch' AND
void = 'f' order by created LIMIT 100;
NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Limit  (cost=2241.98..2241.98 rows=100 width=319)
  ->  Sort  (cost=2241.98..2241.98 rows=604 width=319)
        ->  Index Scan using invoice_cust_name on invoice_master
(cost=0.00..2214.09 rows=604 width=319)

        ->  Seq Scan on invoice_master  (cost=0.00..4310.64 rows=1
width=319)

The above query matches zero rows.

 I'm just wondering if I'm doing something extremely silly here.. Thanks!!
