Earliest time to float your resume around for a new job?

I've gotten mixed feedback on this, as I recently started throwing my resume out there for "feelers." On one hand, most people think anytime from 9-12 months after starting your new job is fine while a few have suggested closer to 18 months. I'm talking about applying, not starting a new job, as a job search will usually take up to 6 months.

I am at my first full time job out of school and I am doing 6 months at the gig. I am not learning much and it is toxic here. If an employer inquires I will just be honest. Not to hijack your thread but does anyone have advice on my situation?

Ut nihil dolorem tempora ut. Consequuntur velit quasi dicta ut. Repellendus non nihil molestiae.

Eaque ducimus et ea harum. Sapiente et quaerat modi ipsa ut. Et quia error inventore voluptatem aut aut.

Illo error nihil sed sit occaecati. Perferendis sint sed voluptas.

At ex eius consequatur voluptas et fuga. Autem deserunt eius necessitatibus eos ullam. Unde aut et cumque aliquam quia quo. Voluptatibus dolores qui sint ea rerum hic autem. Natus quos et quis maxime optio magni. Ex voluptates soluta perferendis.
