We are experiencing a problem with the proxy rewrite system with one set of databases and only under certain search conditions.The databases are from EbscoHost and we encounter an extreme time delay when searching using boolean operators or truncation (*).  When we repeat the same search not using the proxy rewrite link, it works fine.
Simple one word searches will work fine so I guess it is not the size of the result set that is a problem.
Is anyone else experiencing a problem like this?  Could someone who uses the proxy rewrite method and subscribes to Academic Search Elite try a search like "homelessness and (teen* or adolescent)".
Any help or ideas concerning this problems is appreciated.
