I've been using PG now for so many years and I don't have a solid concrete answer on this in my head, and I feel like I should: if I have a table with a multi-column index and I query on one of those columns (or some subset of those columns), will it use that index?

Is there more reading on this topic? I've always felt it's a little more complicated but I'm not quite sure.
