Lag while Search

Bug Reports

@Valkyrie For determining number of notes: Go to “Notes” view (= all notes), and press escape as long as nothing is active - than you can see number of your notes in the background under cosmo-Bear picture. Alternatively - cmd+A when focus is in note list (select all) and you will see the same.

Ah thanks. 2362 notes.

I have exactly same type of lag on my Mac M1 Pro
I have migrated from Craft Docs using “textbundle” format
In my case there are 1200 notes

I’m having this problem now too. I just imported 6000 notes from evernote and now typing anything into the search field is very slow. Lag after each character.

Using 2.0.9 (11930).

Same problem. Would debouncing the input be an easier to implement middle of the road solution until off-thread search is released?

26

Any news on when this might be addressed?

Thanks @trix180. I will be waiting for it. I miss old search from Bear 1.

Hello, I just need some info to understand the issue better as the search is exactly the same as Bear 1 and it didn’t change at all.

I’m wondering what’s making your search slower, a couple of factors can lead to that:

  1. have you imported or added a huge amount of notes?
  2. are you a pro user and do you have a lot of pdf or images in your notes? (the new OCR search might be adding a lot of data to the search)

Thank you.

Hello @matteo,

thanks for asking!

I miss old search from Bear 1.

I mean in Bear 1 search worked instantly after pressing keys.

  1. have you imported or added a huge amount of notes?

I migrated to Bear 1 from Evernote (about 1900 notes). Search was instant. Then I used Bear Beta 2. Since than searching has noticeably slowed down. It is still slow in Bear 2. This is what’s happening.

  1. are you a pro user and do you have a lot of pdf or images in your notes? (the new OCR search might be adding a lot of data to the search)

I’m pro user. I have over 300 notes with PDFs (I checked by using @files search).

My device: MacBook Pro 16-inch, 2019

Hello, we are working on providing a fix for this issue for the 2.1 update.
