Bug Description
Searches take a lot of processing power in synaptic. When you run a search, the search clearly runs on the UI thread, since the window becomes unresponsive and doesn't repaint itself. The search should be run on a separate thread to keep the UI responsive.

Can you please provide more details such as :
1- what was your search keyword
2- can you measure the time it took to give you an answer.
3- your HW configuration
I guess, if you are searching for something, you are supposed to wait for the search to finish. Except if it's really taking too much time and you want to cancel, maybe ? Can you be more clear about it ?
Cheers.
