Hi Ganesh, I'm not sure whether this will work for you, but one way I got around this was with multiple searches. I only needed the first 50 results, but wanted to sort by date,hour,min,sec. This could result in 5 results or millions of results.
I added the date to the query, so I'd search for results only in the past hour first. If that returns 51+ results then I can stop searching. If not, then I'd search the past day, past week... until 51+ results have been found, or I've searched the entire index. 50 results are displayed, +1 so that I know to display the next page link. Sorting was such a performance hit versus multiple searches, that this worked really well, for this application.
