Find attached patch for this fix. Let me know what you think about it.My feeling is , it could do with initial time out value of between 250 ms and 500 ms. So that a meaningful query can be formed, before actually searching it. Haven't touched SearchBar::ForceLiveSearch.

The idea it's not bad...
Maybe 500ms as starting point is too much, as sometimes I'd just want to
type "f", firefox spots and I hit enter, but we could indeed increase
this wait so that it's slower and then gets quicker.

If you want to contribute with a branch, it would be cool to review it.

Thanks
