How do I improve the speed? (Optimizing Your Search)
You can optimize your search by understanding how the search is being conducted on the database.
The agency search hits a database of only about 10,000 records. The individual search on the other hand searches a database of about 500,000 records. Obviously, the agency search will be faster than the individual search.
