@gf I updated the description. ** Description changed:
Currently it's possible to type a search term in the quick search text input field while the search index is recreated (indicated by the label above the text input field). When it is finished (indicated by the label) the search result isn't updated leaving the user with the impression that the search result is empty for the updated index as well. Changing one letter in the search query will prove you wrong in many cases. + + Steps to reproduce: + + 1. Open `synaptic` with `sudo synaptic` on console or else + 2. Make sure the quicksearch feature is installed (that there's a text field left to the search button in the top toolbar). + 3. Trigger the rebuilding of the search index (unclear how this is possible within `synaptic`, but devs will know) + 4. Type "abc" into the search text field which will display a search result (probably based on the outdated index, but there's no warning or other information about it), then quickly type "def" in the same text field + + Expected result: + The packages displayed for the search result of "def" should match the search. + + Actual result: + The packages displayed remain the ones for the search for "abc". + + Note: + This problem could be avoided if the creation of the search index would be parallelized (currently only uses 1 CPU core) and thus be speed up so that the search UI could be blocked until the index is rebuilt.
