About Indexed Searches
To optimize searching when many tasks are present, you can configure the task application that contains the task to use an indexed search provider to identify specific non-list business data fields as indexed fields, rather than use the standard search.
When a task type is enabled for indexed searches/indexed business data fields, an indexed field table is created in the run-time database of the Task Engine when the task application is published to the runtime. In this case, a search considers only the indexed business data fields in the table and ignores all other fields, resulting in a much faster search.
Obviously, an indexed field search can return only the business data fields which are indexed. If a field is not indexed, a search for that field will return no results.
Task developers are advised to give careful thought as to which search scheme is implemented for a given task type.
