You can customise the search settings based on your computer's requirements. Generally, it is recommended to keep the search settings at their default values. However, if your computer has limited memory and struggles to perform efficiently when handling a large number of products or customers, you have the option to adjust the search level to enhance the search process speed.
To change your Search settings, follow the steps below:
- Select the Menu
- Select Setup
- Select General
- Scroll down to Search
The table below provides a description of each search level option, this applies to Customer Search Level and Product Search Level:
| Mode | Description |
| Full (Default) | Searches from anywhere within the string in any order. Works with any language. Has the highest memory usage |
| English Tokenized | Similar to Full except it only works with English, any non-English characters are not searched for. Has a moderate amount of memory usage |
| Strict | Can only search from the beginning of words. Works with any language. Has the lowest memory usage of any in-memory search option |
| Offload to Database | Offloads the search to the local database instead of searching within memory. This reduces search performance (as it requires a lookup to the database) however uses next to no memory. Can only search from the beginning of words. Works with any language |
Search Cache Save Location
This determines where the search cache is saved for each device.
| Mode | Description |
| Local Database (Default) | Allows the cache to be reused between page reloads. Typically, it's best to use this mode |
| None | Recalculates the cache on the first page load of the day. This can help with slow hard drives or hard drives running low on free space |
