As a bonus, the response times for single row selects shorten a little bit too. This post explains what a partial index is, shows how to create one, describes the canonical use case that calls for a partial index,

Alternatively, you might need to join two tables on a column (let’s say on company name), and these can appear slightly different in both tables.

Fuzzy String Matching (or Approximate String Matching) is the process of finding strings that approximately match a pattern.
