nvpy freezing hard when typing intial characters in search on acct with over 1500 notes, makes searching very difficult. #233
Description
As soon as I start to type anything or remove any characters in the search box. It starts searching immediately and nvpy freezes for up to 30s with the rest of the ui being unusable until the search is complete.
The first character is the worst, it freezes until the first character has been "searched", and there is another lesser delay on the second character, and less of a delay but still slow for the third. After about the third character, it speeds up significantly with almost no lag(less to search at that point).
So it takes up to a minute to even type the word "test" in the search box, with the application trying to search again every time a character is typed.
Gstyles or regexp both have this issue.
Pasting a full word or partial word above three characters is much faster, almost immediately gives results. Pasting "test" searches test with no freeze or lag.
Have installed and reinstalled the latest version, deleted notes and done full resync, replaced cfg, etc.
Anything I am missing to make this faster?
I don't remember this being the case a few versions back, and I had a similar volume of notes.
If there is no easy fix, I propose a 1 sec delay to be added after characters start to be modified in the search box, so that by the time nvpy starts to search, there are likely already 3+ characters and no hang up ever begins.
Thanks!
