[16:59:22] <lucky__>	 I am trying to use the wikidata query service. However the following query is timing out
[16:59:30] <lucky__>	 SELECT ?label  WHERE {    ?subj rdfs:label ?label FILTER regex(?label, "apparel") }
[16:59:43] <lucky__>	 It is just searching for a label with regex
[17:00:21] <lucky__>	 Any ideas how to resolve this?
[17:00:48] <hoo>	 We have over 110 million labels, running a regexp on all of these wont work withing the 30s limit
[17:01:08] <hoo>	 there are other ways to search terms, but probably not via SPARQL
[17:17:40] <lucky__>	 I can directly use the search box here which is quite useful. https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Main_Page. But I want to automate things because I have lots of labels to search. I am not sure how that is working. Any suggestions hoo
[17:17:41] <lucky__>	 ?
[17:22:25] <sjoerddebruin>	 Don't know if you can just talk with the search api...
[17:42:01] <hoo>	 lucky__: Have a look at https://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=help&modules=wbsearchentities
[17:45:37] <lucky__>	 hoo_: exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot
[17:45:44] <hoo>	 Nice :)
