How to disable displaying results when still typing?

Submitted by BalkanBear on 23 August 2011 - 9:04pm.

Hi there,

Currently when I type characters in the SEARCH box I immediately get results as I type. However since I have a huge database (~6000 titles) displaying results as I type slows down my computer. Is it possible to disable results-as-you-type feature and query the database in a classical way (i.e. by entering a full string and then query the database by pressing a button)?

thank you.

best regards

Please let us know the configuration of your computer. This instant search shouldn't consume too much resources

The display-results-as-you-type feature is very irritating - for the database of 6000 titles I have to wait for more than 10 sec. to get results displayed but it can get worse depending on the length of the search string.
