I have isntalled sitesearch plugin to add basic search functionality to my site.
I have also added “include in sitesearch” component to the pages in editor as well.
When I use the frontend widget and query any search, it takes alot of time to come back with results, and most of the time gives a time out error.
How can I diagnose why this may be happening?
@tasaduqbahl disable all search providers and enable them one-by-one. SiteSearch executes the queries provided by the search providers. If a search providers runs a slow query, you need to optimize the query or add an index to your table.
Can you elaborate what are search providers and how do I disable them?
I finally understood what you meant, I was facing this problem with the editor/cms service provider.
Since I have created dynamic pages and I am not using static pages.
I also saw the brief note added on the CMS service provider which explained why I may be facing this issue, I think this plugin doesnt suffice my requirement out of the box and so I will have to write something of my own.
Any leads on searching dynamic pages will be appreciated. thanks.
After some research, I have decided that I will be moving my dynamic pages to static pages plugin, and using snippets to embed dynamic code.
As pages plugin has the built in search feature.
