Trigram performance penalty on varchar? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

I am indexing a 100 million record table composed of varchar(255) as the
field to be indexed. I have always seen that examples of pg_trgm are
based on text type fields. Is this by any special reason?.

My computer is creating the index since 5 hours ago so I guess there
must be something wrong...

Thanks :)
