Hi Jens,

This is a known problem. If the similarity range is too big or the minimum
similarity too low, the process takes much time. And the application becomes
unresponsive since the image signatures are located in the core DB currently.
Thus, everything that wants to access the core DB is slowed down extremely.

We will have to migrate everything concerning fuzzy search and duplicates
search into a dedicated database. This would give us the opportunity to make
searches in background easier.

The search result you see is just a virtual album which is loaded every time
you visit it. Thus, we cannot do it in background currently. 

Limiting the search by time is formally no good approach, I think. If we limit
the time, we can only scan a limited amount of images. The result would be that
images that would be scanned later and have a higher similarity would not be
shown. Just because of timing constraints.

I would now re-introduce a lower similarity bound for fuzzy and similarity
searches. This bound was 40 %. And frankly said, I would not use fuzzy search
with similarities lower than 40 % myself. The probability that images have such
a low similarity is quite high.
