I'm not sure whether lengthening the timeout would help all that much
(although I agree that 100 ms seems unnecessarily short).

Are you responding to cancel() messages in the scope? (The shell sends a
cancel for each outstanding request before it fires the next one.)

But, even with a 300 ms timeout, you still face the same problem. All it
takes is a slow typist.

You could implement a longer timeout yourself inside the scope. When you
get the run() call, wait a while before actually firing the request; if
you get a cancel(), while that timer is still active, don't send the
request. (Don't add any delay to search(); doing so will cause the
request to time out for the shell.)

Title:
  100ms timeout for query submission too brief

Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  There is currently a 100 ms timeout between keypresses and query
  submission.  This is rather short and ends up submitting many queries
  while the user is still typing a delay of ~300 ms would eliminate many
  of these submissions while still being barely noticeable.
