What this says
As at Fri 9 Oct 2026Hugh Firth reported searches across a year of support tickets taking 30 seconds or more. Support escalated to the platform team, which suspected index growth as the cause.
Problem: a query that should take a second or two was taking more than 30 seconds, especially across a year of tickets.
Handling: Bethan Lister replied in 143 minutes and asked for an example slow search. Support escalated to the platform team at 16:34 on 14 May 2025 and was waiting for Ewan Pryce to confirm the cause.
Watch: the record does not show Ewan Pryce's confirmation or a fix. The ticket closed on 19 May 2025 with the cause still unconfirmed in the record.

- created · Hugh Firth 14 May 2025 13:37Some of our searches are very slow, particularly when we search across all support tickets from the past year. A query that should take a second or two is taking 30+ seconds. Can you look into this?
- Public reply · Bethan Lister 14 May 2025 16:00Hi Hugh, I can look at the query logs. Can you give me an example of a search that's slow, and tell me roughly what you're searching for? That'll help me pinpoint the issue. Thanks, Bethan
- Internal note · Bethan Lister 14 May 2025 16:34Escalated to platform. Index growth may be the issue. Waiting for Ewan to confirm.
