Why Traditional SQL LIKE %term% Kills E-Commerce Conversions
Database table scans using LIKE '%phone%' cannot utilize standard B-Tree indexes, resulting in seconds of latency. Dedicated search engines index data using inverted indexes, delivering sub-20ms search results with instant typo tolerance, synonym matching, and faceted filtering.
