Good day.
We have a 2 server SharePoint 2010 farm with the April 2014 CU installed.
We have been informed that when searching using the Search Center when searching from one of our web apps specifically (that web app's search center has its search results modified to display a few custom fields, in addition to the basic fields), the search is slow (upwards of 30 seconds to display results).
There are 4.1 million searchable items in our search.We have one property database and 2 query components (across the 2 web front ends).
I'm wondering where I should look to speed up the search. Not using the search center, the search is very quick. So I believe the SQL Server and web front ends are not overloaded. But using the Search center is where we are seeing the hit in performance.
Is adding a 2 more indexes across the two web front ends, associated with a new property database, a viable solution? I don't know if I have enough items to warrant this need.
Is there anything else I can look at?
Let me know if you need any more information.
Thank you
