Thanks for the suggestion, I probably should learn those tricks but
for the time being, would prefer to live with a slower search and get it
eventually done the way I want.

I trust those guys, they will figure it out. I strongly predict that
they will keep the behaviour consistent with RHEL 7.
Is there an easy way to make normal Linux glibc utilities (e.g. sort)
use a locale from the ICU library? There's a package availble one Centos-8
here:
libicu-60.3-2.el8_1.x86_64
Trouble is that only a few applications use it, and I can't find any way
to plug-in / plug-out this functionality. Introducing postgresql details to
the bugzilla ticket will muddy the water and create a aura of diffuse
responsibility. What I've found is generally where there's a lot of words,
people don't read them.
