Upgrade StorageiOS/Android: Text Search speed improvement proposal
Hello, First time posting here.
i often search for words through larger documents.
The search field is very slow, as it seems to initiate a full text search everytime a new character is typed into the search field.
I think it might speed up drastically if the search function would wait for a few milliseconds before actually running the search for the input string.
This would be very useful especially for larger documents.

On the computer (macbook) it seems to work fine. On mobile (android) and iPad it does the following:
for every character I type in the search bar, it instantly triggers a full text search for the character that just was typed. Therefore, when searching for a word, instead of searching once for the word, it does a full text search for every single character of the word.
Waiting a bit before doing the full text search would help to speed up the process.
