Hi,
I was wondering if there was a means to gather search performance metrics
for particular queries. Something similar to the field "took" in standard
queries which provides the duration of a search query, I was looking to
better understand the memory impact of my searches in particular when the
duration is similar.
Is there a way to measure this using logging or search parameters?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
As far as I know, not doable on a per-query level.
