Search optimization is a technique for making your search run as efficiently as possible.

When not optimized, a search often runs longer, retrieves larger amounts of data from the indexes than is needed, and inefficiently uses more memory and network resources. Multiply these issues by hundreds or thousands of searches and the end result is a slow or sluggish system.

This three-hour SPLK-SO: Search Optimization course is for power users who want to improve search performance. Topics will cover how search modes affect performance, how to create an efficient basic search, how to accelerate reports and data models, and how to use the tstats command to quickly query data.
