No, that's not right, the table was empty.  I rebuilt the table as it
was before, here are all three queries again:

explain analyze
select *
from search
where search_vec @@ to_tsquery('213 & E & 13 & ST & N:*');

                                               QUERY PLAN

set enable_seqscan TO 0;
explain analyze

from search
where search_vec @@ to_tsquery('213 & E & 13 & ST & N:*');
