Sales Orders: Search Runs Fast On The Largest Catalogs

The orders list search is faster and steadier. Filtering by an order number, a customer name or email, a SKU, a shipping name, a tracking number, a tag, or a sales channel returns in about a second on any catalog size, and the list stays responsive around it — a slow search no longer drags the rest of the app.

Before, on the largest catalogs, a keyword search worked through the whole order set and could take up to a minute and a half. Every order update refetched the list, so searches were stacking up in the background as orders arrived, and the slowdown reached beyond the list to the rest of the API — on 2026-08-20 that came out as a period of site-wide timeouts. The search now works through each part of what you type — order number, customer, item, tracking, channel — on its own path, and three of those paths (customer name on the shipment, product name, sales channel name) which used to have no fast lookup now have one.
