Hi All, Earlier we were searching in 6 fields i.e qf is applied on 6 fields like below <lst name="defaults"> <str name="qf">A</str> <str name="qf">B</str> <str name="qf">C</str> <str name="qf">D</str> <str name="qf">E</str> <str name="qf">F</str> </lst>
We had assumed if we reduced the number of fields being used to search then the index size and response time both will decrease. We merged all these 6 fields into one field X and now while searching we using this single filed X By merge i mean i index all the 6 field data into single field X <lst name="defaults"> <str name="qf">X</str> </lst> We are able to see a decrease in index size but the response time has increased. *Are we missing something? Is our assumption correct?* Any help will be highly appreciated. -- Thanks & Regards, Ajay Sharma Software Engineer, Product-Search, IndiaMART InterMESH Ltd --
