Is it possible to disable search while typing?
I used to love the feature of search as you type. But now that I have almost 15k items in the library it is horrible.
It takes a few seconds to search. So ever time zotero decides to search I have to wait to keep typing. It gets really frustrating. Could at least not disable the writing box and abort the current search if I type some more?

adamsmithPut a " at the beginning of your search to disable search while type.

jorge7582Thanks. That's useful. But I still think freezing is not the right behavior.

adamsmithIt's not ideal. The other thing is that I'd just keep the search bar set to title, creator, year for a large library.

jorge7582I do that already. Still, takes a few seconds.
