Would someone please confirm what the unit of time reported by run_time is? Run_time as reported by the scheduler or by jobs.

if this is a run time like this from the scheduler.log , run_time is likely in seconds

run_time=0.847 => zero seconds and 847 milliseconds.

Yes, it does appear to be in seconds. We had a few searches that were taking so long to complete that I couldn't believe that the number I was looking at was in seconds!
