Task Search Overview
When you create a new task type, you can select from the following task search providers:
*Default search provider
*Task indexed search provider
*HPSTRA search povider
You can select the indexed task search provider when you create a new task, using the Select search content provider drop-down list on the New Task wizard. By default, the task is created with a standard search provider. You can change the search provider type at any time after a task has been created.
The standard search provider enables the task user to search across all business data in all the task instances available in the inbox by executing a complete in-memory scan of all of the business data fields for those task instances. If the number of task instances is relatively small, this search executes quickly. However, when a large number of tasks are present, a standard (full) search can take significantly longer.
The indexed task search provider enables you to optimize search performance. This provider searches only business data fields that are specified as indexed, making the search much faster.
The HPSTRA search provider enables you to search tasks data, indexed in an Elasticsearch store. In addition to standard task searches, this search provider ensures high-performance full-text search on the task information and mapped task data fields for a large number of tasks.
