Please describe your bug
Me and a few of my friends have had a seemingly deteriorating experience with the search function. When I first spun up the server a few months ago it was all snappy and so much better than plex. But over the weeks the search has gotten so bad as to be completely unusable. Like the title says it happens on any client or browser or app we've tried, LAN, Remote or otherwise.
At first the search will attempt to work as we see the thing spinning like it's searching but we've literally let it do that for ~2 days and eventually the jellyfin UI goes blank and the spinner disappears and the search never finishes.
Doesn't seem to matter what we search, Breaking Bad, Smiling Friends, dragon ball, Bluey, etc. Playback is flawless but actually getting to and finding the specific things we want to watch is the issue. My only thought is I have rather large libraries and perhaps it's timing out or something trying to page through them? 13k movies, 2500 shows 1000 anime 700 cartoons and a few others that are pretty big like a (downloaded) youtube library and a rather large music library.
Not sure if it's related but sometimes the UI in general can take seconds to even appear so navigating through a library to find a specific thing is rather cumbersome as well. I've had a library this large the entire time, jellyfin just seemed to respond slower over the months for some reason.
Reproduction Steps
Attempt a search for any kind of media in any of my listed browsers or clients or conditions. As of the last month or so it does this almost every time we search. Of note sometimes specifically jellyfin media player on LAN works BUT not for remote and it takes several minutes to search. Browsers just spin either way.

I do face the same/a similar issue: The search is super laggy and sometimes returns no results at all or takes up to a minute (or more) to return the search results.
It seems to me as this issue was introduced with the version 10.9.x
I never had so much trouble with searching back when I was using 10.8.x.
Also, my library is indeed a larger one. But that was also the case before I upgraded to v10.9.x

This has been my and my shared users' exact experience. Search is extremely slow at best and non functional at times.
@felix920506 commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2024):
What storage device do you have the database on?
@Glynax commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2024):
a 2TB Hynix platinum NVMe.
@v3DJG6GL commented on GitHub (Jul 10, 2024):
4x Samsung PM9A3 960GB U.2 SSD (580000 IOPS read / 70000 IOPS write) on a RAIDZ2 array.

I just wanted to add another data point. I've started jellyfin completely from scratch new database new install and everything in docker. on 10.9.8 and everything was perfect for a week or two with search and things working. Now search is deteriorating already just like before only faster. Paranormal Activity spins forever in a search remote in chrome and local on jellyfin desktop app and opera. But for example searching smiling friends works after a minute or so of it looking. Can't tell why some searches work and others just don't anymore.

I don't have any new logs as this issue was so back breaking I had to go back to plex. But I do want to add if it were to be fixed I'd spin jellyfin back up.
