My INBOX has > 10,000 messages. When doing a text search in the body across those messages, I'm ALWAYS getting a timeout the first time. Sometimes also when doing it a second time.
But when doing it at least the third time (but sometimes at the second attempt already), I get a result within a few seconds.
Is there anything we can do server-side which can improve this? IMAP server is Cyrus.
Furthermore, how does the text search work at all in detail? If I enter for instance "term1 term2" (without the quotation marks), does RC look for "term1" OR "term2", or does it look for "term1" AND "term2"? And if the latter, does it look for "term1 term2" as an exact phrase, or does it look separately for "term1" AND "term2" anywhere in the body? And do quotation marks have a meaning at all?
Our users are asking us this, and currently we don't have a good answer for them.
Last but not least: Will there be a header only search available in the near future?
