Search in table problem

[molsim]

We have some problems with search in table via the embedded field: 1) Fist of all, if it does not find something it does not say "No matches", it says "Loading, please, wait" 2) The search code in search.py returns internal errors, in this code, which are not caught by except. There are multiple old style variants. Now if I fix it, the search becomes very slow.

    try:
        variant = OldStyleVariant.objects.get(name__icontains=search_text.replace(" ", "_")).updated_variant

        if self.navbar:
            self.redirect = redirect(variant)
        else:
            self.query.format("variant_id", "is", variant.id, str)
        return
    except OldStyleVariant.DoesNotExist: #   changed by Alexey 9/11/2015
    # except:
        pass

Maybe the "__icontains" is slowing it down? I recently changed that to allow the new variant names with underscores.

Point 1 - fixed - simply javascript error in MSA when no sequences found. will check icontains now

Still a mystery for me, which JS function handles the quick search in table?

Ok, fixed it by not allowing search with one symbol.
