No. What you're trying to optimize is
Filter: ((lower(unaccent_string((lname)::text)) ~~ 'info%'::text) AND (lower(unaccent_string((fname)::text)) ~~ 'travel%'::text))
so you need one or both of
create index on member (lower(unaccent_string(lname)) text_pattern_ops); create index on member (lower(unaccent_string(fname)) text_pattern_ops);
If one of those two conditions is reliably more selective than the other, perhaps just one index would do.
