Patient Search very Slow

Application Name: OpenMRS Platform Version Number: 1.11.5

Question: We are currently testing Platform version 1.11.5 before we upgrade our production server. However we have noticed that when searching a patient given the patient identifier/name, it takes about 3 minutes. We find this to be very slow even though we have a very large database. Any advice on how we can optimize the patient search will be very helpful.

Could you please create an issue in JIRA? How many patients you have in your database? What version of OpenMRS you used before?

@raff: here is the ticket for above issue:

This issue is same as Platform 1.11.5 or above in implementation.

Hi ,

I would suggest to use elastic search in this case. The performance is very fast and it is very scaleable. I am interested to volunteer for this. Looking forward to hear more than you guys :slight_smile:

Thanks, Shahin

I find the issue and solved it. Just increase inno db buffer memory . Our system have 90000+ patients. I set 5Gb . Its working fine now. maximum 5 seconds took for single search.
