MY SETUP: I have apache solr full text search enabled with dovecot. I
have an inbox with about 40 subfolders. I'm using the roundcube
web-based mail client. The find command is showing 15823 email files
and apache solr reports the same number. I'm running a dedicated mail
server with a 1 GB of ram. The solr machine is running on a separate
machine with 4 GB ram.
THE PROBLEM: When I do a full text search through all my inbox and all
subfolders on a single word, search results are returned in about 10
to 15 seconds. This is better than the 40 seconds or so I'm getting
when I turn off the fts and fts_solr plugins but still a little
disappointing.
WHAT I'D LIKE: Now, I don't expect instant search results like gmail,
but getting the search results to display in less than 5 seconds would
be a lot less painful that 10 to 15 seconds.
WHAT I'VE TRIED: I have reindexed the emails on solr to try to speed
things upit up.
ANY ADVICE? Curious to know what response times others are seeing and
if there is anything else I might try to speed things up. Maybe the
number of subfolders is slowing things down?
OK, I figured it out. It was a bug in Debian's version of dovecot:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=970692
Upgrading to "Bulleyse" fixed things up nicely and I now have super fast
search.
Now I have to go tackle the plugin errors that are crashing the
roundcube install. :)
