Hi Dave,

That’s great! It at least enhances the search to a significant degree. What I wonder is how we could use the key_count_global counter you introduce already and make that both be passed to ajax_search.php and have the “$('#suggestions').html(data)” only update when the key_count_global matches.

I’m pretty confident I could hack together an “ugly” version of this, but is there anyone on this list that can hint me what the “elegant” way of doing this in JS is? Especially since this would ensure we achieve both: reduce the delay a bit and still only have the matching results be printed.

Moreover, you introduce a function lookupwait and obsolete the already existing function lookup, right? Thus lookup for a “final” patch could be removed, right?

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Best,

Kilian

Hey All,

We experienced this also.

I added a minor patch that puts some delay before firing off a search. It's not pretty, but the complaints went away.

Kilian,

We also experience this issue.  Searching in Observium is a fun game of type, wait, and select the result, only to find it updated a millisecond before you clicked.  Rinse and repeat.

In conclusion, I will remind everyone that Observium is super awesome, and this is just a minor blemish.

Hi again,

any pointers where we could speed up our search box "user experience" since that's currently the only "issue" our users report with the platform.

Or maybe someone could point me into the right direction where to fix this myself?

Cheers,
Kilian
