Why is this query not using GIN index? - Mailing list pgsql-general

I have a simple table, and a gin index,

create table mytable(hash char(40), title varchar(500));
create index name_fts on mytable using gin(to_tsvector('english', 'title'));
create unique index md5_uniq_idx on mytable(hash);

When I execute a query with tsquery, the GIN index was not in use:

test=# explain analyze select * from mytable where
to_tsvector('english', title) @@ 'abc | def'::tsquery limit 10;
                                                     QUERY PLAN

Any ideas?
