With the database that I'm working with I'm finding that having to search through ~100,000 records (and growing with each day) requires some time that significantly slows down work; there is a Yes/No value that would allow me to filter relevant vs. irrelevant records for general purpose day-to-day queries, while still keeping the older records to preserve their IDs and data in case we need them for future reference, but I'm not sure if the application that I'm going to try for will make it any more efficient. Would putting in what's essentially an "if 'no', ignore and move on" step before the "does this record have the ID number 19383" step make the searching any more efficient?
Question is how do I code a button (checkbox) to 'ignore if Yes/No', depending on the checkbox being ticked or not, sending that info from the search form to the relevant query, and would that make the searching process any faster?
