I don't know what iSphere is doing, but I have a guess based on the description and what I've seen in my own experience.
The main performance issue I've seen when searching in member filters is that the search is performed by running FNDSTRPDM per member.  You could knock out a lot of chattiness by processing the member filter on the IBM i or, at the very least, batching the FNDSTRPDM command for blocks of members at a time.  
Another idea would be to integrate OmniFind.

Frank,
I am just curious, you don't have to tell me any of your trade secrets if you don't want.  But what are you doing to get the performance gains?  Feel free to tell me that it is classified information :-)

Peter,
the first time after an IPL using iSphere Power Search can take a little more time. But after the second time you should see the improvement.
On my box i search a member filter containing 637 members. iSphere Power Search takes 3 seconds and the original RSE Search takes 185 seconds.
For the binding directory issue i think you have deleted the ISPHERE data area in library QGPL containing the release of the installed OS. Take a look at the manual.
Frank

Hi Frank,
After the re-install, the power search is working.
However, I did a speed comparison between the standard WDSCi search and the power search, and failed to see any major improvement.
The search was on a source file filter (13 files in 4 libraries), resulting in 3 hits.
Native "find string": 80 seconds
iSphere power search: 52 seconds
Unless I'm doing something wrong, this isn't quite "60 times faster", or can one only achieve such improvements on much broader searches?
Also, "edit binding directory" always gives me an empty list, even though there are entries when using 5250.
Met vriendelijke groeten / Best regards,

Peter,
there have been another bug, which i have fixed. Please download and install iSphere once again. Let me know if it works now.
Frank
