Description

Whilst trying to use the language.symbol search functionality I've noticed that after inputting a few characters further input is blocked for example to search for action I type ac then further input is then blocked until some results come back.

EDITED: New GIF with keycastr symbol

Unfortunately my screen capture tool doesn't record keystrokes but during the lag I'm hitting several keys which don't register

Update: thanks to @Contextualist
