I just meant that if you type in "the" , you would probably get many results and while the system is displaying them and showing more and more, there would be likely some kind of "search ongoing" symbol or icon indicating that RW is still searching.
During this time, I should be able to work with the application w/o trouble, in other words: in case I change my mind and do something else, or pick one of the entries shown, it should work without loss of performance.
I know several applications, that "start searching as you type" and then run with a severly reduced performance, so it's hard to click on something or do anything at all
