I searched for 'data providers that start with the letter R that sell job postings data', and it's been 15 minutes and it barely verified the first row.
But if it filtered it first to "start with the letter R", it would only have to look at perhaps 5% of the results it's trying to verify!
So it's doing needless verification of results that will be thrown out by another filter that should've been applied first!
We were down for a bit! Ran your search, got 8 matches after analyzing 100 results. Took 40 seconds for the first match, and another 80 seconds for the other matches.
We use an agentic search planner that adapts its search strategy as matches are found, but it could be smarter with substrings.
