This is normal. The "norm" (the SQL Standard document) says:

If the i-th substring of [pattern] is a
[character other than _ or %], then the i-th
substring of [expression] contains exactly
one (1) character that is equal to [it]
according to the collation

Thus a LIKE search is character by character.
