Race condition in quick search leads to incorrect results

    Description

      When typing in the quick search field the results are populated in the order that they are returned from the server. If the server responds to results in a different order to which they are sent, that can result in incorrect results appearing in the quick navigation.

      For example, if someone was searching for "atlassian confluence" and the client sent 2 requests to search for "atlassian" and then to search for "atlassian confluence". If the "atlassian" query returns after the "Atlassian Confluence" query, those results will be displayed, so while the user might expect that a page with the exact title "Atlassian Confluence" is displayed, if there are lots of other pages with "Atlassian" in the title, those pages will be shown instead.
