James, Thanks for the reply. I see your point and sure enough, reducing maxCollationTries does reduce time, however may not produce results. It seems like the time is taken for the collations re-runs. Is there any way we can activate caching for collations. The same query repeatedly takes the same amount of time. My queryCaches are activated, however don't believe it gets used for spellchecks. Thanks. -- Sandeep
