In my experience iSphere search is much faster then RDi. But if you want to make straight comparisons, you have to be careful about caching. I've always found that the second FNDSTRPFM on the same library is much faster than the first, so apparently there is some caching going on.

But my preferred search is iSphere. Pity it doesn't do stream files, though :-)

Just for comparison's sake, I ran the same search using RDi's built in
search, and the time (under a minute) was *very* comparable to iSphere's.
I suppose YMMV applies here.

Having said that, my default search engine is iSphere's, because it has so
many more features than RDi's built-in, such as Regex searches and multiple
and/or search arguments.
