Very Slow Find/Search (Ctrl+F) in Large XLSX Files – Still Present in ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors 10

Operating system: Debian 13 64-bit
Desktop environment: GNOME / Wayland
Application: ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors 10

Problem

The Find/Search function (Ctrl+F) becomes extremely slow when working with large XLSX spreadsheets.

In my tests, searching for a word can take more than 20 seconds before the results are displayed.

I originally reported this issue to ONLYOFFICE Support under ticket #124397.

Support recommended testing the problem again with the newer version of ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors.

I have now tested ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors 10, and unfortunately the problem still persists.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Open a large XLSX spreadsheet.
  2. Press Ctrl+F.
  3. Search for a word that occurs many times in the workbook.
  4. Observe the time required for the search results to appear.

Actual result

The search may take more than 20 seconds.

Expected result

Search results should normally appear within a few seconds, even in relatively large XLSX workbooks.

Reproducible test file

I have prepared an XLSX test workbook specifically for reproducing this issue. It contains large amounts of spreadsheet data and repeated search terms.

Suggested search terms:

ONLYOFFICE_SEARCH_TEST

PERFORMANCE_SEARCH

The same problem is reproducible in ONLYOFFICE Desktop Editors 10.

I would appreciate it if the development team could reproduce the issue and, if confirmed, provide an internal bug/tracking number.

It would also be useful to know whether search performance optimization is planned for an upcoming Desktop Editors 10.x release.
