I don't know what happend yesterday ... it's running now ...

You sent me :
zz=# explain analyze select id_site from site_rss where idx_site_name
@@  'livejourn';
                                                             QUERY PLAN

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Index Scan using ix_idx_site_name on site_rss  (cost=0.00..733.62 rows=184
width=4) (actual time=0.339..39.183 rows=1737 loops=1)
    Index Cond: (idx_site_name @@ '\'livejourn\''::tsquery)
    Filter: (idx_site_name @@ '\'livejourn\''::tsquery)
  Total runtime: 40.997 ms

I get this :
                                                               QUERY PLAN

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Index Scan using ix_idx_site_name on site_rss s  (cost=0.00..574.19 rows=187
width=24) (actual time=105.097..7157.277 rows=388 loops=1)
   Index Cond: (idx_site_name @@ '\'livejourn\''::tsquery)
   Filter: (idx_site_name @@ '\'livejourn\''::tsquery)
 Total runtime: 7158.576 ms
(4 rows)

With the ilike I get :
                                                 QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Seq Scan on site_rss s  (cost=0.00..8360.23 rows=1 width=24) (actual
time=8.195..879.440 rows=404 loops=1)
   Filter: (site_name ~~* '%livejourn%'::text)
 Total runtime: 882.600 ms
(3 rows)

I don't know what is your desktop ... but I'm using PostgreSQL 7.4.6, on
Debian Woody with a PC Bi-PIII 933 Mhz and 1 Gb of memory ... the server is
dedicated to this database ... !!

I have no idea !
