for the calculator runner we use a trigger character indeed (the '=' sign). you could set it up for a delay as well .. but that would appear quite slow to the user (which may be ok: the process itself is quite slow). one possibility might be to show a match if the runner is triggered (e.g. "map <term>" or "locate <term>") with a unique ID (to the runner, probably; don't need to support multiple simultaneous queries) and which starts with the text "Looking for <term> on OpenStreetmap" (or whatever) and only when there is sufficient pause in typing actually do the search and then update that match with the proper results when the match returns... -- Aaron J.
