The document is a question posted on Stack Overflow asking how to search millions of records in a SQL table faster. The question details searching a table with 50 million records and 5 columns to find records containing "lifeis". Indexing did not help speed up the LIKE query. Respondents recommend using a full-text index, which supports faster LIKE queries for patterns beginning with a fixed string. While an index on the searched column could provide some help, a full-text index is likely the best approach given the large number of records.
