speed up like wildcard % search in sqlite
Hey,
I've a phonebook app with 180k records of names, addresses and numbers. I search my sqlite database every time the user changes text in the searchbar with this query [select id from phonebook where name like 'car%' and state='ny' limit 10]
for states with loads of entries, the search can be very slow as sqlite has to go through more records to find a match. also, if you search for 'a%' the search is quick but 'z%' it's slow as sqlite has to travel to the end of the records to find 10 matches.
i was wondering does anyone have tips to speed up the search.
