Re: [iam-dev] Replacing RepositoryIndexerManager with SearchService
|
The search as you type functionality can work, if there is a quiet period after a keystroke before a search is performed.
Another way to say it. As you type, each stroke of the keyboard (letters, numers, punctuation, whitespace, even arrows, backspace, and selection stuff) there is a countdown timer of ~750ms, which is reset for each keystroke. When the timer expires, then kick off the search.
This approach is what is used on many "live search" widgets online. As a way to reduce the number of searches, etc...
Aside: The P2 update manager needs this functionality as well.

Hello,
I'm trying to replace RepositoryIndexerManager in DependencyLookup with iam search service. However, I believe we need to remove "find dependency as you type" capability and replace it with a search button because it's so painful for the user to wait every time he keys in a letter.
Thoughts?
Cheers,
Allan
