4.2a Beta 3 - searching seems to fly

Mark Smith

This new release not only speeds up phrase searching, but simple word search also seem to happen much quicker and rendering of results is snappier. I'll do some more comparing to the 4.2 SR-3 release, but if the comparison I'm sensing now proves out this is a big plus.

I tested three single word searches each on a different set of resources in both 4.2a Beta 3 and 4.2 SR-3 using Ranked search results in each. Here are the results:

4.2a Beta 3      4.2 SR-3

1.18 sec           1.43 sec

  .16 sec             .23 sec

  .17 sec             .23 sec

There is a definite improvement in speed, averaging around 24%, in this small sample.

Rendering speed seems similar but I did not try to measure that.

This isn't scientific and the results could change, but it looks pretty good.

Bradley did say there would be other improvements, which I clarified further down.  The test I conducted were:

All Bible Text in All Passages in ESV

Query	4.2 SR-1	4.2a B2
things BEFORE spirit	0.8s	0.24s
God	0.9s	0.22s

If B3 is different I'll report that.
