Very large query performance

[aviasd]

Hi

I'm trying to use everything as a favorites menu to access favorite folders.
Currently I'm doing wfn:<Folder1|Folder2|Folder3|...Folder70> which takes about 4 seconds for everything to return the result list.
Is there a way I could speed this up using different query?

Thanks

Edit: About 50% of the favorites are using environment variables as part of the name. Not sure if it could affect performance

Take a look at the filelist: function, like:

Code: Select all

filelist:"C:\Program Files\7-zip|%ProgramFiles%\common files"

This is built to match many-to-many and might be faster (please test and report; that is useful information for all of us)


The easiest way to create this search query (that I can think of):

• Create a textfile with all your favourite folders, one per line.
  Don't end with an empty line (ie: don't press ENTER after your last folder)
• Go to Menu:Serach > Advanced Search
• Scroll down to Search for a list of file names:
• Click the browse button to add (the contents of) your textfile
• Click OK
• Save as bookmark
• Done

Very Cool

I keep forgetting about the filelist option...

Yes, this method (filelist:... ) is working perfectly and is preferable than opening an .efu because it retains all the folder icons!

Thanks !

You're welcome!
(what about performance? How long does it take?)

Instantaneous
Probably less than 50ms but I cannot measure. xactly

Wow, that *is* fast!
(and accurate enough for me )

Thanks for posting!
