説明

I have about 900 repos ( ~1M LoC ) indexed. Search performance is very variable. It feels fairly snappy when searching for larger specific strings with fewer matches; but is extremely slow for generic small snippet searches with lots of hits.

for example searching for foo in my setup returns 131,549ms total / 4,739ms server / 3477 files The actual server side search is an impressive 4 seconds, but I see a spinner on the UI until the entire 154 MB of search results are transferred back - well over 2 mins! And then there's the bogged down browser from displaying all the results at once.

Paging and/or lazy loading would go a long way in improving user experience and perceived performance

Issue 種別: feature
難度: 3
推定時間: 1-2 days
活動状況: stale
明確さ: clear
前提条件: Familiarity with Hound's search logicExperience with client side pagination
初心者向け度: 50
調査方針: Examine the backend search endpoint in server.js to add pagination query parameters (e.g., page, per page). Modify the frontend fetching logic in public/js/ or similar to request pages incrementally. Implement a UI pagination component to display page numbers or infinite scroll. Test with a large index to verify performance improvement.
