    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.
