Substring search

Hi,
Is there any way to perform a substring search without full table scan (Oracle 8.1.7) and make it a little bit effective? I know that Oracle doesn't use index in search of the form: select * from table where column like '%substring%'; but maybe there are some tricks to speed up queries like this

Thanks for any answers
