Describe your issue

When using winget to query software packages, it often takes a long time to obtain the list. However, using cli for the same operation completes almost instantly.

The Firefox query in the below winget log took more than three minutes and did not return any results.

pinget also has the same problem.

Can confirm, search is very slow.

It takes almost a full minute to return search results for Firefox, while WinGet CLI returns results in 2 seconds.
