Or you could do it with a symlink; i.e. move the full-text-search.db file to your SSD, and create a symlink (named 'full-text-search.db') to it in your library folder. Tested on Windows - but it did not improve performance - still significantly slower than Windows and X1 with their search indices on a spinning rust drive.

If you're comfortable with it, give it a shot, and remember to backup everything before proceeding. It's always a good idea to have a fallback plan.
Also, I second @Comfy.n's suggestion. The EV alpha tool seems promising for performance improvement, if you haven't given that a shot yet.

Dear all,
Thank you for your responses.
Dear BetterRed,
I'm on Linux. Do you think I'll face a similar fate as you if I try the symlink suggestion?
Can I ask why you haven't tried you CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH variable suggestion?
Dear Comfy.n,
I'm on Linux. What's EV Alpha and will it help someone on Linux? I checked your link, and I see exe files. I've concluded it's for Windows.
Dear Dsharma,
Betterred tried the symlink method but not CALIBRE_OVERRIDE_DATABASE_PATH suggestion.
