testing Grommunio web with some larger mailboxes
when entering some search terms (example sender name) and selecting a time frame (past two weeks) the results shown are "all over the place" and strangely sorted.
I'm also unable to "modify" the sort order by clicking on the "date" header in the results as it "complains" with:
which is understandable... but as the search conditions are not "honoured"...
used versions:
grommunio Web: 2.5.0.01abcdef-lp153.4.1
Gromox: 2.13.41.19134b4-1+27.1
i treied to recreate the grommunio-web sqlite index but that does not help.
Outlook behaves similarly. (configured in on-line mode (no cached exchange mode))
searching for sender (by typing just the name) shows first 250 "hits" in strangely sorted order.
At the end of the list is the "notice" that search is limited and other data could be found on server...
This 250 items limit can be removed by unchecking "improve search speed by limiting the number of results" in the Outlook "search tab" settings.
In that case (unlimited results) all hits are returned... eventually... but the list is populated in a random order.
For example it "immediately" shows some results dating back a year or so, then few weeks etc
as the search progresses the list is populated by other results and if you let it work for a looooong time it eventually produces the expected results...
But the users won't wait 30min+ to get the results (mails from a few days ago, for example, which are populated at the end...)
I understand the grommunio-web is using the sqlite index file for faster searching... what is used (it anything) by MAPI/Outlook access to speed up searches?
Is there anything that can be re-indexed/re-created to solve this behavior?
Thanks!
