Description Michael Reiher 2012-08-01 18:30:24 UTC

Searching currently gives no feedback at all (except possible results appearing). Nothing tells the user "I'm currently searching, please wait..". The stop button does not activate, there is no progress bar, spinner or whatever. 

And it does not tell the user "I'm finished and there where no results". You just can guess that when there are no results after a while.

Reproducible: Always



Expected Results:  
- Give feedback that search is in progress
- I want to know when search is finished and there were no results

I can confirm that for current 4.9 branch. I just discovered the same thing. If you search something and no results are in the list you never know if its still searching or not.

What I would propose, as soon as the "Search" Button is pressed:

* Disable the search button
* Enable the Stop button
* Show some animated "Progress Icon" somewhere (perhaps on the search button?) , perhaps similar to what Firefox shows in a Tab as lonng as a page is loading...
