The search tab in the left side of Digikam, is very usefull. However, it has IMHO a big functionallity problem: The "autosearch". It begins to search entire database just when you open this tab ("New search" not "Advanced search"). This is slow for few elements database, but if you have thousand elements, Digikam stays insane time to show you the images. Even if you begin to type in the search form, it begins to search at each typed character, making impossible to control this search cause at each new character is beginning a new query (in my case, to internal mysql). This feature is the most interesting but as is implemented, is unusable for large databases. Please, could you implement at least an option en Digikam preferences to let the user enable/disable "auto search" to avoid that automatically begins the searching? Thank you
