# Einstein Search Best Practices

Whether you search for records or receive a recommended result, sometimes search provides you with a result that’s not relevant to your term. Here are some tips to help improve your search experience.

- **[Einstein Search Limitations](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.search_einstein_considerations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**

- **[How to Make Search Work Faster](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.search_make_search_faster_lex.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Disabling search for custom and external objects and scheduling bulk uploads during off-peak hours helps speed up search.
- **[How Search Crowding Affects Search Results](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.search_crowding_considerations.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Search crowding–having too many unhelpful search results–can overwhelm you with irrelevant records and slow down search. To avoid search crowding, the search engine limits the number of records it analyzes. Learn how to adjust your searches for the best results.

- **[Tips on Search Errors](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.search_errors_tips.htm&release=264.0.0&type=5)**  
    Search sometimes experiences errors because of a network connection, complex searches, index problems, or other reasons. You can still use search when the system is down but with some limitations. Search is usually restored in a few hours, but it can take longer. Keep some guidelines in mind when using search with errors.
