CMDB search SlowIssue When using CMDB search, some search terms are extremely slow to provide results, and will sit at 'In Progress 0%' for up to a minute or more before starting to return any results. Example: 'sas install' or 'office install'. Individually searching for 'sas' or 'install' or 'office' run at normal speed. Also searching "install sas" run at normal speed.Cause"CMDB search" plugin is activated. In the current scenario when "sas install" keyword is used for search, it converts the keyword to *sas install*. Thus triggering database query for all the relevant keywords that starts with sas (*sas) and all the relevant keywords that end with install (install *). This returns huge number of results for *sas causing the instance to process results far more than the one's returned from other keywords(*install sas*).
