Description
When a search is run the search fields are disabled. This is really annoying.
Searches take a long time to complete and TAC still often times out. This means that
- when a user loads up the page, then need to wait a minute to before they can change the fields,
- they update a first field, it auto-runs the search even though they weren't done inputting stuff and they wait another minute,
- they update a second field and it auto-runs the search,
- and the same happens for every single field.
- Then the search doesn't return satisfactory results because the user doesn't know exactly what they're looking for and they need to start from square 1.
- rinse and repeat for every string.
This makes every single search take at round trip of >5 mins even though it could be 30 seconds.
solution proposals:
- do not auto search. wait for the user to submit
- do not do a search on page load (that search is never going to be the thing the user was looking for anyway)
- if you want to maintain autosearch,
- add a debounce
- do not disable fields so that the user can continue editing.
