Hey @manikanthar1295 ,

When you fire a query to search content, copy that query and paste it in Query Performance Tool(/libs/granite/operations/content/diagnosistools/queryPerformance.html) and find out if any index has been used or not. If yes, then you probably need to add the path(if that's inside /content/yourProject) in included path and if you're searching for any specific property, you should add that too.

If you happen to see that your query is a traversal query and not using any index, consider creating a custom index definition using Oak Index Definition Generator(https://oakutils.appspot.com/generate/index).

So basically while searching the content in your repository you search:
1. a specific type of node(nt:base, nt:unstructured, cq:Page, etc)

2. under a specific path(/content/yourProject)

..

.. and so on

The idea here is to have an index(either custom or existing) that should take care of your query and not let it become a traversal one.

Thanks,

Bilal.
