Bug #92036
Updated by Sybille Peters over 3 years ago
The behaviour of the filter was changed in https://review.typo3.org/c/Packages/TYPO3.CMS/+/65208 to submit a query automatically after a small delay so that the query is submitted when you stop typing.
However, if you do not type fast enough, several (unnecessary) queries will be submitted.
h2. Example
You want to filter for "abc". Since you are a slow typer, 3 queries are submitted for pages matching:
* "a"
* "ab"
* "abc"
You only need the third one. Also, the result sets of the queries which are unnecessarily being submitted might be quite large for
sites with a large number of pages.
h2. Suggestion
* Have a minimum number of characters before the query is submitted automatically (e.g. 1, 2 or 3)
* force submit by pressing ENTER
For me, the pressing of ENTER which was introduced with previous patch was not a problem. In fact, I found it preferrable to current behaviour because it reduces amount of unnecessary queries and you had direct control over what was fetched.
