Hello Cam:

Something is not correct. We have a client with more than 15,000 items. They can use Smartfinder [F6] to search for Item Descriptions "containing" a word or phrase and get a complete response back in 20 to 30 seconds.

One way to see if infrastructure is a problem is to copy your dataset to your local drive (create a folder on C: drive). Then point Adagio at the local dataset and search for items. If the performance is much better, then you have to consider that the LAN is the cause of the problem.

The good news is that the newer versions of Adagio are employing technology that makes searches much faster.
