 **Omnisearch makes Obsidian sluggish at startup.**
 
-- You may have _big_ documents. Huge notes (like novels) can freeze the interface for a short time when being indexed. While Omnisearch uses a cache between sessions, it's still rebuilt at startup to keep it up-to-date.
+- While Omnisearch does its best to work smoothly in the background, bigger vaults can cause some hiccups at startup because of the search index size.
 
-**I have thousands of notes, and at startup I have to wait a few seconds before Omnisearch gives me the context of a result.**
+**Omnisearch gives inconsistent/invalid results, there are errors in the developer console**
 
-- Omnisearch refreshes its index at startup. During this time, you can still find notes, but Omnisearch is not able to show you the excerpts.
+- Restart Obsidian to force a reindex of Omnisearch.
-
+- The cache can be corrupted; you can clear it at the bottom of the settings page, then restart Obsidian.
