Make searching "live"

[Danielle Foré]

Instead of waiting to press enter, searching should occur as you are typing.

I think right now the proposed change is not feasible because it searches the whole folder and even more in the case of a saved search. We need to find an alternative way of searching for we proceed with this.

@ Christian: what do you mean by "it searches the whole folder and even more in the case of a saved search"?
I tried out the changes,and it seems to be working..

[Cris Dywan (kalikiana)]

It literally searches 2 times the number of accounts of folders. The concern here is performance, it certainly works if you have a very fine processor.

we would have to catalogue all the emails in a db, and do a full-text search in order to make this performant

If you need help on the side of speeding up the treeview and treemodel, let me know in IRC.

We do have live searching now, with a small update timeout. I wish we could find a way to make the updates less "harsh", but I don't know how. If anyone has an idea, please file a new bug report.
