Bug 193467

Version:            (using KDE 4.2.85)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

I have my addressbook automatically imported from old KDE version (3.5.9), if that matters.
It is selected as "Akonadi Compatibility Resource" - "std.vcf". It contains 184 records.
I have no other addressbook source configured (no LDAP - no network delays).

I have the quick search field set to look in visible fields, and filter set to None.

When I start to type into the quick search field, it takes 10 - 30 seconds after typing each letter to redisplay the list, and before the next letter appears (then it takes another 10-30 s to redisplay after the second letter appears, and so on).
The same applies when deleting letters - after deleting a letter, it takes 10-30 s to redisplay.

This is inacceptable - the machine is not a high-end one, but still I think that Athlon64 1.8 GHz should be able to perform such task faster than man can notice.

If it is not possible to fix the algorithm for some reason, then please at least add some delay so multiple letters can be typed before the search starts, or change the default behaviour from search-as-you-type to on-demand (i.e. after hitting the Enter key).
