Baseline Search
In advanced search we made the CPU/GPU/Drive model field read only. It can now only be populated using the "Select model" hyperlink and is now an exact search. This change improved some database search times 20 fold (40secs to 2secs) and prevented some timeouts from slow searches.
Added a "clear" hyperlink for CPU/GPU/Drive model
In simple search, we improved the worst case search time 10 fold (20sec to 2sec)
DirectX 12
