Search takes over 20s to return results, all other parts are loading quickly


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

 

My shop is running smoothly, but when ever I use the search bar, it takes a very long time to return any results.

I have tried to optimise the search function by Prefs > Search;

Turning ajax and instant search off.

I only want users to search for the name and tags so I have set weights to;

name - 10
reference - 1
short desc - 0
description - 0
category - 0
manufacturer - 0
tags - 10
attributes - 0
features - 0

 

And rebuilt the search index, but the results still take a long time to display.

Nothing I do seems to have any positive impact on the search load times.

Does anyone else have any similar problem they were able to resolve?

 

Regards,

Neller.

If anyone cares, I have conducted tests on amounts of products in the store and time to load using the default theme and a custom one.
 
It would be interesting to see other stores results.

Default theme and custom theme are time in seconds for a search query to return the results. Timed using firebug.

Search index was completed before each search.

 

number of products default theme custom theme

1866                            3.69              4.81

3693                            5.94              5.74

5633                            8.6                7.92

7400                            9.97              9.37

 

edit - table structure was lost, apologies for the amature layout
