This query times out:
SELECT ?item ?label
WHERE
{
?item wdt:P31 ?instance ;
rdfs:label ?label ;
rdfs:label ?enLabel .
FILTER(CONTAINS(lcase(?label), "Soriano")).
FILTER(?instance != wd:Q5).
SERVICE wikibase:label {bd:serviceParam wikibase:language "en".}
}
LIMIT 100
I have this feeling that it's not actually using an index or even asking
the right question and so is slow and times out?
However the MediaWiki wbsearchentities API does seem to use an index and is
performant for label searching:

How can I get my SPARQL query to be more performant or asking the right
question?
(BTW, once I have some answers, I intend to make this page a bit more
useful with that information for other users ...
