Dear Lord, why would they do such a thing. I think I've experienced this, and decided I hated Obsidian because it made my computer feel slow (it's not).

- hoosieree 3y agoI don't know about Obsidian, but delay before search prevents a bunch of useless queries to the prefixes of your search terms. If search is slow, adding a delay to prevent extra searches might make searching feel faster. Alternatively, you could get near-zero delay and no spurious queries by requiring the user type Enter or click a button... but that design is much less common these days.
