Text filter and concat

[diskovered]

I'm using Text filter and love it however I was wondering if anyone have suggestions on improving performance of Text filter and concat when doing a search:

CONCAT([employee], ' ', [first], ' ', [last], ' ', [order], ' ', [store], ' ', [code], ' ', [sub], ' ', [department], ' ', [id], ' ', [seller], ' ', [unit], ' ', [sku], ' ', [item], ' ', [item_name]) AS [TextFilter],

Approx 1 million rows and it's doing full table scan I think is the problem that's why it's slow. Any suggestions on this approach?

Hi @diskovered

How do you model your data?

From your information, it seems diferent kinds ("employee","order","department", "item") information are in the same table.

Please model your data into several tables and create relationships among tables, it may make a better performance.

I'll try to model my data into several tables and see if that works. Thanks
