Search Speed

[nelliott]

I have a database with about 12000 records on it. When I perform a search using "" eg searching for "C++" it locks the database up and takes ages to complete the search - any ideas on how to get round this problem

Kind regards

What platform? How is the database being opened? Where is the "C++" data stored? Is is searching on an unindexed or a related field?
