UI: is instant-search in the Lookup field useful, or confusing? #138

In the "type a name" field, the instant auto-search/auto-complete function is annoying. It causes UI lag and doesn't seem to serve a useful purpose. It's confusing to see the UI change with every letter typed.

If I am searching for "hotdogstand.eth," it is confusing and not helpful to see the UI changing around me on the fly as I type. This is particularly notable when I make a typo and/or when the hot-search feature "hits" on a domain with active bids in progress, sometimes resulting in UI lag while data about the domain is loaded.

Propose that the domain-entry/search field should simply wait for a carriage return before taking any action. AND, make it perfectly clear for less-experienced users, put a GUI button titled "Submit" or "Search" immediately to the right of the field.

I totally agree with this issue. Instant search is not a useful feature.
