It uses a rather short timeout after you stop typing to start searching. If you don't type like hell it just starts to search, and with a lot of songs this search takes some time and makes the whole thing unresponsive. it's written in python luckily, so even I managed to at least increase the timeout and just restart it. Hacking other functionality should be relatively simple as well.
