With the following query on 50000 records:

explain
SELECT  bld_TB_BUS_FACT.BUS_FACT_ID AS id
FROM    bld_TB_BUS_FACT
WHERE   bld_TB_BUS_FACT.PARTY_ID=1320677
AND     bld_TB_BUS_FACT.BUS_FACT_TYP_CD='MSG_SENT'
AND     bld_TB_BUS_FACT.CONT_ID=786448
AND     bld_TB_BUS_FACT.BUS_FACT_KYWRD ILIKE '%MT-ID=3407979%'
AND     bld_TB_BUS_FACT.BUS_FACT_KYWRD ILIKE '%S-ID=1310723%'
limit 1;

psql:test.sql:9: NOTICE:  QUERY PLAN:

Limit  (cost=0.00..2264.16 rows=1 width=8) ->  Seq Scan on bld_tb_bus_fact  (cost=0.00..2264.16 rows=1 width=8)

EXPLAIN

I don't understand why it's not using the defined index, even after performing VACUUM FULL ANALYZE on the table.
I tried disabling seqscan but that didn't change anything.

I'm open to suggestions anyone

Thanks!
