Description:

I have data in a varchar field like '092', '00000000169', '0000001' and so
on. There is a btree index on this field. my searches are similar to below
ones. 
select searched_field from searched_table where searched_field = '092';

When I search data, it uses the given index and returns no value. But when I
disable index scan, it does a sequential scan and return data. 

We have witnessed this case in one index in our production(11.7) and
staging(12.2) environments on same index.  Then we dropped the index and
recreate it. The problem is solved. But, to me, index and data must be
consistent.
