Feeling good that I came to your conclusion a few days ago. I did hit a snag with figuring out how to compile a special version of sqlite for my windows machine (which I only realized I needed to do after running your command `sqlite-utils enable-fts mydatabase.db items name description`). 

I'll try to solve that problem next week and report back here with my findings (if you know of a good tutorial for compiling on windows, I'm all ears). Either way, I'll try to close this issue out in the next two weeks. Thanks again!","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",512996469,

You're running your search queries using the ""contains"" filter, which uses a `like` query under the hood.

SQL `like` queries are generally slow because they force a full table scan. You can add an index on the column but it will only speed up prefix queries, like `... where name like 'apple%'` - they won't help if you are searching for text further along the string.

Instead, you should take a look at SQLite's FTS - full text indexing feature. You can build a FTS index against a column and dramatically speed up searches for words within that column.

This documentation should help get you started: https://datasette.readthedocs.io/en/stable/full_text_search.html","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",512996469,
