Searching takes a long time

[DieselTech]

What happened?

Search is starting to take a long time to come back with results. As you start typing it starts searching right away, but that takes time to complete, then when you finally finish typing what your looking for, it needs to compete searching for everything before that point.

This makes it feel like a bad experience because you don't know if it's still searching in the background or if there really is "no results found" There is no indication that it's actively searching, so you just sit there for 10+ seconds waiting to see if the dialog changes.

What did you expect?

Search should state that it is searching. Not default to "no results found" while waiting for the operation to complete.

What I found was the search indicator wasn't hooked up.

I hooked it up and also changed so Chapters and Files aren't included by default. The UI will now let you click to enable a search against those. That should drastically improve search times as well for larger installs.
