Hi Unnati,
I believe the reason here is that there are lots of user fields to search within, and it takes time. I have made a few minor changes to the configuration to make sure the performance is fully optimized:
– I enabled the exact keyword matching. I believe this is the fastest in your case: https://i.imgur.com/ks270Nh.png
– I also enabled the search cache. Repetitive search queries should be much faster over time: https://i.imgur.com/Pa6Oo6X.png
