We are having issues with the MOSS 2007 Web Service. Specifically, the Query/QueryEx method of the API. We are using the SQL Syntax to query sharepoint, and for most cases, our search execution time is very fast. However, when we add filters and sorts, things start slowing down. In some cases we even get an error. For example, this MS...

Have any of you come up against this particular requirement, and i...
