THE PROBLEM: When I do a full text search through all my inbox and all subfolders on a single word, search results are returned in about 10 to 15 seconds. This is better than the 40 seconds or so I'm getting when I turn off the fts and fts_solr plugins but still a little disappointing.
I did some experimenting. I noticed that if the word I'm searching on is fairly rare, results will pop up quickly, like in around 3 to 5 seconds. Words that don't exist at all in any email returns nothing almost instantly.
But words that appear in several hundred emails are the ones that are take a much longer time.
Not sure if this just might be a slow email client or due to Dovecot itself or if maybe 1 GB of ram isn't enough and my machine is underpowered.
