What is searchbuilder

My company is running an RT installation v. 3.6.0.

What is searchbuilder? Can we use it to speed up RT searches?

Thank you,

Micah,

Actually, there are several ways to speed up searches without trying to 

fool around with searchbuilder. It works fine for us. If we have a
search/query that takes too long, we look at any of the following:

  1) Does the SQL create any inefficient joins or links?
  2) How is the DB set up? Are there ways to speed up the DB access 

using different pathways, etc.
3) Does the query look for data in a list/sequential fashion or
does it use existing keys/indexes?
4) Does the DB table need additional indexes?

Also, depending on the search, if you have too many privileges that are 

global in nature, that could also increase search time. You just have to
evaluate the way you write queries with an experienced eye. Hope this helps.

The main problem is searching through the RT interface is slow. The DB
lookups seem to be fine.
