--optimizer-search-depth

This is a command-line option for the mariadbd & mysqld commands (arg: Required).

Maximum depth of search performed by the query optimizer. Values larger than the number of relations in a query result in better query plans, but take longer to compile a query. Values smaller than the number of tables in a relation result in faster optimization, but may produce very bad query plans. If set to 0, the system will automatically pick a reasonable value.
