Handling: Olivia reviewed query patterns, identified that indexed records had grown to several million, and optimised the indexes to speed up performance.

- created · Eleanor Pickering 20 Jul 2026 13:39Hi, I've been running searches on recent support tickets and they're taking quite a long time to come back, sometimes 30 seconds or more. They were faster a few weeks ago. Can you look at what might be slowing things down?
- public_reply · Olivia Grant 20 Jul 2026 19:20Hi Eleanor, I've reviewed your recent queries. The slowdown is because your indexed records have grown significantly since you joined. You're now at several million records. I've optimised the indexes, which should speed things up. Can you try a search and see if that's better?
