Thread:Project:Support desk/search box autocomplete slow/reply (7)

Hi Everyone,

I finally got some time and upgraded to 1.23, and also put in place an identical server to play with. Both servers are very close in the configuration of IIS, PHP, MediaWiki, etc. (excluding hardware) and both have about the same response time on the search.

The search is a little faster after the upgrade, but have I noticed the following. If I type in a whole word like “laborious” it takes 3 – 4 seconds, but if I just type “L” wait 2-3 seconds “L” words are listed below (as expected), and as I type the sort narrows to “laborious” quickly. If clear the search box and now type in “laborious” it is listed right away. Do not think the Hardware is the issue, lots of RAM, Processing power, Drive space with high I/O speed. Also, I get the same behavior on the twin server which has far less processing power and memory. Cache maybe? Ideas anyone?
