What I found is "Extended search dock", which was already disabled by default. I briefly enabled it to see if it would change anything, but it didn't.

I understand this, but it seems that in the process, responsiveness has been sacrificed. I'm hoping this compromise can become unnecessary if a config option can be made available.

I tried enabling the "Parallel search execution" (if that's what you mean) and this did improve the overall speed considerably, more than halving the search duration. However, the initial latency for new searches is still unchanged (at least 2s).

Also, when this option is enabled, the screen goes almost entirely blank sometime during the search, except for the moving blocks of yellow highlighting each "Find Next" result (as I click) -- so I basically have to wait till the search completes, before I can usefully traverse the results.
