Hi - here is a webrev to provide incremental search results, in the same
fashion as the CLI. There is still a pause for some searches before
getting any output, but we are just waiting for a response from the
server and there is nothing we can do on our side about that.
Joanie hopefully this should improve the user experience. I am only
hooking in the accessibility info to the results when we have the full
list (same as we do now) for performance reasons hopefully this is ok.
To do really fast searching on the local machine, we can only search
locally for installed packages. If we add a View -> Installed to show a
user all installed packages on the system, then we could search this
using local search.

9710 PM search should return results incrementally
It seems to be giving comparable performance to the CLI for search. We
are now processing the altered api_errors.ProblematicSearchServers and
reporting back all the errors. Perhaps we should be hiding some of these
from the user, but for now we don't.
