Why is the Robohelp webhelp search so slow?

Hello,
I currently use Robohelp 9 and produce merged Webhelp using Zoomsearch v6 as the search engine.
My sites has around 2500 topics and 26 merged projects. Zoomsearch produces search results in under half a second.
I decided to use zoomseach (after reading Peter Grainge's useful site) as the default Robohelp search didn't seem great and was taking 5 to nearly 30 seconds to return results. I think even 5 seconds is too long in this day and age!
Is this normal? And is there anything i could do to speed this up?
Does anyone know if Robohelp 10 speeds up the search?
Thanks

I have always found the search to be quicker than that. My use of ZoomSearch was for other reasons.
You can have RoboHelp's own search in addition to ZoomSearch so why not just set that up to see if it is still taking that long?
Also try one of the supplied sample projects. Click Open on the RoboHelp Starter page and then click Samples in the ribbon on the left.
See www.grainge.org for RoboHelp and Authoring tips

  • HT4528 Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?

    Why is the WiFi and browser so slow on iPhone 5?  I've noticed they are not as quick as other smart phones and have seen this brought up in forums.  Also, the WiFi was slow with my iPhone 4 anyone know what the deal is?
    Thanks in advance

    Sadly that spiffy reply was of no use.  Browser is so slow and in looking at 3 different iPhones I have noticed there is a serious wait for any simple page to come up like MSN maybe its the iOS maybe Safari maybe should reset daily.  Truly not impressed Apple can you here us now?  Probably not... to busy restarting or resetting.
    Truly hope it improves in a hurry.

  • Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

    Why is the download/upload speed so slow on my MBA (about 5 times slower than my PC)?

    Are you on band 13 or band 4?  13 is the original LTE band and remains relatively congested. Band 4 is the XLTE band and is less congested and has higher overall potential bandwidth (15 MHz vs 10 MHz). Even so, 7 Mbps is more than enough for doing stuff on your phone and is not considered slow. 
    To check band,
    dial *3001#12345#*
    select serving cell info
    frequency band will say 13 or 4
    FInd an area with band 4 and retest.

    You really have a question for iPhone support here, so I suggest that you post in the appropriate support area:
    Using iPhone
    The experts over there will likely suggest that you use the Apple Troubleshooting Guide for iOS devices, so you might want to work your way through that before you post in the iPhone support area.

  • Why is the preview "Open" window so slow?

    Hey, there guys!
    I am wondering why it is that the new "Open" window is so slow in preview. It opens slowly, and when I select a folder, it takes a long time to index the folder's contents. However, I can open a file in preview using finder just fine. The indexing times are almost identical to those that I got when I first bought my mac. I noticed that after the update to Mountain Lion, there was a tab added to the top left called "iCloud". I'm wondering if this has anything to do with it?
    My question is: what I can do to increase the speed of the Preview "Open" command? I have seen a couple of forum posts regarding people having issues opening files, but none of them talked about the open window itself being slow.
    Thanks for your help!

    Agree the new ios6 is much slower. I found this post by doing a search to find out if it was only me. I've done off & on & a soft reset. Neither helped. Everything seems to load much slower & hangs.
    Maybe the new apps aren't optimized yet. However, I had one of my worst experiences with the Apple App Store. One would think they'd know how to optimize their own site & app.
    I just hope it's not a bloat issue because the "upgrades" are not worth the performance trade offs to me.
    Also, the iMaps are definitely not ready for prime time. I tried getting directions between two locations that were very mainstream and the app said it couldn't provide directions. I'll take Google without turn by turn, thank you. At least let us have a choice and let the best app win.

  • Why is the community filtering/search so broken

    Why  is filtering/search in the Visual Studio community so broken?   
    If I try to limit the scope of my question ("task board") to one forum ("Visual Studio Online") - it seems to be impossible to do:
    If I enter "task board" in the right hand search field and click search - I get a lot of irrelevant crap about TFS.
    If I then go to the left hand side and enter "Visual Studio Online" -- .... NOTHING HAPPENS
    OTOH
    If I start with "Visual Studio Online" selected in the left hand column (and I can only get there by entering it, the Delete "x" on the forlum lst doesn't seem to work)  
    Then I select the Azure subsection/forum
    And the system now shows only "Visual Studio Online" as my forum search
    I then go to the right hand search box and enter "Task board"  - and voila!!! ALL the forums are search and all the same crap about TFS shows up

    Hello Karl,
    Welcome to MSDN forum.
    Your issue is out of support range of VS General Question forum which mainly discusses
    the usage of Visual Studio IDE such as WPF & SL designer, Visual Studio Guidance Automation Toolkit, Developer Documentation and Help System
    and Visual Studio Editor.
    I will move this thread to off-topic forum.

  • Why is the FPGA compiler server so slow?

    FPGA Cloud compiler is faster because NI servers are high performance, right????
    Well, my Windows 7 PC is high performance, but no luck there!
    Total CPU usage is never more than 25% and total memory usage (including other applications) is less than 16%.
    Why does the compile server not use all available resources? has it been restricted?
    How can I leverage more power from my PC?
    If NI Servers can compile code quicker, there must be plausible explanation / reason?
    Please advise, how to make the compile server run faster locally?
    Solved!

    In my experience, taking advantage of Intel's Turbo Boost (my PC has i5) reduced compile time from 85 minutes to 45.
    I'm currently testing Cloud Compiler and it took 110 minutes.  How can Cloud Compile Server be the slowest compile?

    If You Think iOS 7 Feels Slow Here’s How to Speed It Up
    http://osxdaily.com/2013/09/23/ios-7-slow-speed-it-up/
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • Mac Lifer using MacBook Pro - why is the performance and network SO slow now?

    I'm a 15+ year experience designer that lives on my machine. I'm in Adobe, Safari, Mail, Skype and Gotomeeting every day. Skype audio is spotty, Safari lags, Mail lags, and Adobe Photoshop CS6 fonts seem to give it a ton of grief. I would take it in to a store, but don't have the physical time.

    See ds store's excellent user tip - Why is my computer slow?
    You don't say which model you have, how much RAM, how much free space on your internal hard drive, etc. Information like that can be useful.

  • Why is the download for CS6 so slow

    I am trying to download the CS6 installer to my new laptop and the Adobe website is taking over 5 hours for a 9 minute download. Why is it so slow?

    It depends on
    what installer package you are trying to download - some are over 6 GB, which can take up to 30 minutes to complete
    your Internet connection; I am 10,000 km away from the Adobe download servers, but every download completes within a few minutes
    Try downloading the offline installers from http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    Make sure you follow the Very Important Instructions on that page.

  • WHY is the HP Notebook TS11 SO SLOW!!!!

    Hi all, We purchased this for my daughter a year ago and just put it aside becuase it was processing so slow out of the box but she still used it every now and then. Literally the only thing we have on it is Word, Excel and Powerpoint. Everything else came on the computer. She also added chrome. I ran multiple virus checks, nothing! Took off all uncessary start up programs still slow.  No additional software added. WHY WOULD HP SELL THIS??? The CPU whe just opening on tab of Chrome goes to 88. That can't be normal. Also the Base Score for performace say 3.1 which I am not sure what that means. CAN ANYONE HELP??????????????? PLEASE!!! My son is now in possession to use this for school but it's so slow it's frustrating. HP please help me fix this. You can't be selling such a sub par product that is running like I have a 1,000 windows and programs on it. This should be flying when we open these programs and not hanging and taking forever to come up. I am open to any fix!

    Hello,
    The HP TS11 is a very low-end budget laptop. I'm assuming it is the Dual-Core 1Ghz AMD variant.
    First of, this is a budget laptop, as they say; "You get what you pay for" and when you're paying very little, you cannot expect the laptop to be super fast, in fact, it is expected to be slow.
    Second, this is a reasonably old laptop now; getting on to be 2 years. Technology has advanced a lot even in this time, so it is likely to be a lot slower than the budget laptops today.
    Chrome, is surprisingly a rather demanding peogram. Whilst it is known for stability, it is also a known RAM hog, taking up aholwe Gigabytes of RAM, and the variant I'm assuming your laptop is only has 2GB of RAM- less than many modern smart phones, so you cannot expect it to run a RAM hog with only 2 gigs of RAM.
    Regards,
    William
