    ChaosSearch specializes in data analytics and indexing solutions for large-scale cloud object storage environments. The company is innovating in data indexing and search, making it easier to access and analyze vast amounts of application telemetry data efficiently.

    In this example, the search field was left empty to return all records in this very small data set like this example, which is a small orders table based on TPC-H data. ChaosSearch is designed to index data at scale including complex application logs, which means that an unbounded search for a longer time range could return billions of records. A free text search with no terms, or very common terms, could take a long time to return a set of results that could be too large to review easily.
