Hi,
Any suggestions on how to make the user picker faster? Sometimes users are typing in a few characters and the "Working" message is flashing and it deletes what they typed. Other times it just takes so long for a matching result to appear.
I read a post about not having any max selections or group filter but that won't work for our form.

What about alternatives? Go back to the traditional drop-down?
Thanks

Another suggestion regarding the custom Vendor picker: if the business is okay with this, put a condition that the user has to type in at least certain number of characters. Even going from 1 to 2 characters will improve performance tremendously. I have had some use cases where we made the user type in 3 characters before we did a search in the database. For the first two characters, we would return a message asking users to type in at least three characters in the suggest function.
