I have this query:-

u.surname ASC,

LIMIT 0, 20
The numbers inside the IN() are actually ids of another table called Tags which matched the search keywords entered by users. In this example the user has searched "class".
See the explain output of this query here:- http://www.test.examvillage.com/Screenshot.png
The time taken by this query is 0.0536 sec
But, if the number of values in the ttagrels.id_tag in () increases (as user enters more search keywords), the execution time rises to around 1-5 seconds and more.For example, if user searched "class Available to tutors and students 3 times a day"
the execution time is 4.2226 sec. The explain query output for this query contains 2513 under rows.
There are a total of 6,152 records in the All_Tag_Relations table. Is any further optimization possible?
