If you do normal non-RegEx query, is it any faster? ]]> RE: Large Search https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#5 Tue, 24 Jul 2018 15:45:24 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#5 FileSeek It's still going. Only 1396 files (4.837 GB) searched. I'm pretty sure my SAN isn't that slow. I am doing this directly from our file server. ]]> RE: Large Search https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#4 Fri, 20 Jul 2018 16:30:03 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#4 FileSeek Just checking in to see if the search ever finished, or how far it ended up getting? ]]> RE: Large Search https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#3 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:48:32 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#3 FileSeek Every file. I know it's going to take a long time. But seeing the progress is so slow it doesn't look right to me. It's at 66 now.
I imagine this would take a few years at this rate. ]]> RE: Large Search https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#2 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 20:40:44 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797#2 FileSeek Are you searching inside every file on the server or just certain ones? That 62 file count would only be the files it has looked inside, not the total number of files discovered. ]]> Large Search https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797 Wed, 18 Jul 2018 19:39:45 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.fileseek.ca/Discussions/View/large-search/?ID=ae8921ea-584c-444d-bd1d-7ea6423a9797 FileSeek Not sure if I am doing this correctly. I am searching a file server that is probably over 10TB of files for files containing one of these phrases. I am using a large but simple RegEx expression such as this one..

Code
Copy
Select All

(?i)(?<= |^)Big Cats|Flaming Dog|Win Dog|Jupiter Moon|Mr. Guts|Blacke Orange|Asian Buttergly|Missing Jacks|Gold Card Account|Jinxed Minx WIP|Trapezoidal Tacos|Handful of Tamale|Go for the Silver|Additional Buritto|Cursed 33|Monolith Jungle (?= |$)


After an hour or so the file count at the bottom is 62 files searched so far...
I've tried both Match Query options (not sure the performance Difference there)

What am I possibly doing wrong or is there a way to maxamize the performance?

Cheers ]]>
