OllieJones

WooCommerce’s Order and Subscription pages allow store owners to search for orders and subscriptions by customer name, email, and other attributes. By default, it does a general substring search. For example, if you put OllieJones into the search box, it will search with <code>LIKE '%OllieJones%'</code> using the leading wildcard <code>%</code>. That’s astonishingly slow on sites with many orders.
Upon activation this plugin uses ActionScheduler to run a background process to create a special-purpose index table, a table of trigrams, to speed up that search. Then it uses those trigrams to search for orders.
The downside: the trigram table takes database space and takes time to generate.
The orders page itself contains a slow query to look up meta_keys. This fixes that query’s performance too, using a cache of available values.
<h4>If you have problems</h4>
The WordPress and WooCommerce ecosystems offer many optional features enabled by plugins. And, WooCommerce sites run on many different versions of database server. It is not possible to test this plugin on every imaginable combination. So, you may have problems getting it to work.
Sometimes the process of creating the index table does not complete correctly. And, sometimes you cannot find some orders after the index is created.
If you tell the author about these problems, he will attempt to fix them. Please create a support topic, then visit Site Health, view the Info tab, click the Copy Site Info to Clipboard button, and paste that information into the support topic. And, of course, please describe what is going wrong.

This plugin will re-add the “Purchased Items” column which was removed in WooCommerce 3.0. Order information is loaded via Ajax when the button is clicked. Saving resources on each page load.
After updating WooCommerce to version 3.0+, you may notice that the “Purchased Items” column is no longer in the orders list. The reason for removing this column was to save resources (each time the orders page is loaded, it was loading every order to create the query). To fix this issue, we created this plugin which queries the order data only when you click the “View Products” button.
The quantity and product name will be listed for an order when the button is clicked.
