Awasu Information

Awasu maintains a database (the "search index") that allows searches to be done in a reasonable amount of time but keeping this up-to-date takes a lot of work. If you don't use Awasu's search features, you can turn the search index off by opening the Program Options dialog, going to the Archive page and un-ticking Enable the search index. This will make Awasu run noticeably faster. If you do need Awasu's search features, you can defer updating the search index to off-peak times e.g. overnight when you're not using Awasu. In this case, new feed items won't be returned in search results until the index has been updated.
