Is searching history on edge://history slow for anyone else?
Search performance is fine for me on Edge version 89.0.774.50 (Official build) (64-bit)
instantaneous. (less than 1 second). i used "Twitter" and "instagram" keywords, lots of history entries belong to them, but Edge also showed me history from before Edge stable was installed (used cloud search), because this Windows installation is only few days old.
I also deleted 1 entry from each keyword, took around 2-3 seconds to disappear from the list. I think it's more related to the sync and how Edge should delete it from my Edge stable, cloud and Edge canary that's also open at the same time.
I'm on a 4 years old NVMe SSD (read speed benchmark right now shows: 2200 MB/s).
Cheers for the reply. 🙏 It does seem to be a peculiar bug. I'll keep a running log of what's been tested, in case someone else stumbles on this issue and/or there's something to be troubleshooted on my end:
- Edge updated to 89.0.774.54. No difference.
- Disabled all extensions. No difference.
- Unchecked and rechecked History sync. No difference.
- Some time after step three, the bug disappeared on the laptop at least for a few hours.
- Rebooted. No difference.
- Edge Dev is quite weird: with the the same search term, Dev has many more results than Stable, but also does not suffer from the bug. This makes me believe, in fact, Edge Stable is so slow, it's missing many older results (as I stop waiting after 20 seconds).
I'll investigate why Edge Dev is working, but Edge Stable is not.
