Optimize Search Speed

[wdprice]

Run a challenge to review ES config / code and identify opportunities to optimize.

Currently takes 7+ seconds to load results.

@cwdcwd Are we allowed to make updates to the index to achieve this? Or should we restrict to optimizing the code alone...

Nothing in mind - just weighing options

I think we should first look at how we're creating that payload. My suspicion is that the lag is caused by the saturating each record with the expanded details (like groups, etc). What we probably need to do is have a processor that listens for data changes to things like groups and updates those fields directly in the index instead of saturating them in real time. Does that make sense?

@cwdcwd @wdprice The groups related changes are in. Let me know if the current performance is acceptable or needs further improvement
