Debounce user input for search to prevent spamming API #28

Closed mattgen88 closed 3 years ago

When typing in the search box, ever key press fires off a new API call. Typically waiting 300 to 500 ms before firing off the search is the best way to handle auto-complete. This will drastically reduce API calls to search, which are expensive, and help with the UX, since you won't have search results coming in at different times.

Can you extrapolate on this a bit?
