What do the new Index Searches lines in EXPLAIN mean? - pgMustard
In Postgres 18 you’ll now see “Index Searches” lines in EXPLAIN ANALYZE output. If like me you were wondering what those mean exactly, you’re in the right place.

Sorry for the slow reply! We're about to embark on updating our explain glossary for 18, and adding a page for "Index Searches" is top of the list. A blog post is probably a good idea too, thank you 🙏
