Hi, Is there any progress on this. I'm hitting a hard stop on making my
scope.

So the problem is - the scope makes several requests while typing - e.x.
typing "Douglas Adams" will result in a series of multiple requests
like:

Dispatching search: "ug" ""
Dispatching search: "ugl" ""
Dispatching search: "uglas" ""
Dispatching search:  "uglas " ""
Dispatching search: "uglas a" ""
Dispatching search: " "uglas ad" ""
Dispatching search: "uglas adad" ""
Dispatching search:  "uglas adam" ""
Dispatching search:  "uglas adams" ""
Dispatching search: "duglas adams" ""
Dispatching search: "dou adams" ""
Dispatching search:  "douglas adams" ""

most are irrelevant, as the api is not matching similar terms.

Also there is the problem that the api I am using limits the number of
requests per hour - so I am wasting 90% of those requests.

So, we either need

- a setting to delay request
- setting for longer typing timeout
- special only send on enter (maybe special icon withing search field to 
indicate)

or something so we can limit the rate of requests while typing...
