We have an important question in the publications section regarding the website. A query in the field pdf text for the word “Valentia” takes 1 minute and 5 seconds on our website, whereas on the monedaiberica.org site it takes 2 seconds.
According to your instructions, “full text search” had to be used for transcriptions. However, the web developers tell us that this is not the issue, that the search speed itself is correct. The problem lies in how the information is returned. As they explain, in the case of mupreva.org, the entire transcription is returned directly, whereas in the case of monedaiberica.org, only the matched fragments are returned, structured like this:

We have been told that if the Dédalo API returned the information in this way, the problem would be solved, since it would not be necessary to download all the transcriptions.
Our question is: do we need to change the API? Isn’t it possible to simply reuse the code from our current website or from the Moneda Ibérica site, where this type of search is already working properly? If we have to modify the transcription diffusion, we don’t know what needs to be done.
Thank you
