@Mattias - Your unrestricted intitle search is basically a worse case for /search. If you try ?tagged=wpf you'll get a response in 1/2 a second. If you're just doing text searches (no tags or excluded tags) you'll probably want to break out to your search provider of choice rather than use our API.

| May 24, 2010 at 4:39 | comment | added | Homde | Well, this is a general search tool so it's not my queries per se , but that of our users and of stackoverflow :) It does not seem to make much difference what the search query is, it always ends up in the 9-11 second range which we can agree is far too much in these days. The weird thing as I said is that the same queries on on the sites are quite fast, is it using any caching that the api isnt? | |

@Mattias - /search has been improved. I'm not going to say its fast yet, but its faster. Be aware that if you specify search terms that are very vague (large numbers of matches) the request will just naturally take longer. If you can use nottagged or multiple tags in tagged you'll probably get much faster responses.

| May 22, 2010 at 23:58 | comment | added | Homde | I'm integrating quite extensive search client with stackoverflow through the api so I'd be glad to provide feedback. It's strange though since the search on the site is so much faster than the api | |
