1 year ago We have 600k lines on oc_filecache table and file search is almost unusable, taking more than 30 seconds to show results. On top of that, Nextcloud unified search is looking for exact words, in the same order as user input which is not very efficient.
So, we have decided to write our own search form, outside of Nextcloud (added to the app menu using external sites app, as we are not able to make a real Nextcloud App), but using the same database (mariadb here). We've added some extra search functionalities :
- search by file id
- search by user name
- search between 2 dates
- search all the input terms in various order
- search is accent insensitive
- search is (almost) plural insensitive (final 's' is added or removed from each term to maximize chances to get wanted results)
- export results in CSV
Search is based on the user profile, so only the files shared to, or owned by the connected user appear on the results.
Surprisingly, our search engine is significantly faster than the official nextcloud one. It takes about 2 seconds to display results. There is certainly a lot of possible optimizations to do.
Feel free to comment, use, adapt this bunch of code as we are not going to make an app or whatever with it. If it may helps someone...

/*
Nextcloud alternative search engine offering :

- export results in CSV
search results are based on the user in $_SESSION["username"] variable
you have to write your own user authentication to make it works...

⚠️ This issue respects the following points: ⚠️
Bug description
Global/Unified search for files and tags is slow if a lot of shares are present. Search result for fulltextsearch, collectives, talk, deck and mails popup nearly instantly, but result for files and tags takes ages until they appear (approx. 30 seconds). Tested accounts have approx. 600 shares (according to
oc_sharesshare_withcolumn. Talk is used a lot for sharing photos, which is probably the main reason for the amount of shares.Postgres log shows slow query... see below.
Doing the same on a cloned server instance without these shares (shares removed), the search results for files and tags appear within 2 seconds.
Just want to reference https://github.com/nextcloud/server/issues/23835 which really improved things in regards to search speed. Unfortunately it seems this issue is not fixed if a lot of shares are present.
Steps to reproduce
Expected behavior
Search result for files and tags should appear as fast as possible, even if a lot of shares are received.
Installation method
Community Manual installation with Archive
Operating system
Debian/Ubuntu
PHP engine version
PHP 8.1
Web server
Apache (supported)
Database engine version
PostgreSQL
Is this bug present after an update or on a fresh install?
Updated to a major version (ex. 22.2.3 to 23.0.1)
Are you using the Nextcloud Server Encryption module?
None
What user-backends are you using?
Configuration report
List of activated Apps
Nextcloud Signing status
Nextcloud Logs
No response
Additional info
Postgres log shows slow search query for files and tags: slow_search.log
