#67 many contacts/slow search

[patrick barta]

i have 1500 (!) contacts in php address book, and everything works great except the new ajax interface is much slower in looking up a name. under the old version, i could type in the name, hit enter, and it would find the name in a second or so. under ajax, it appears that something happens for each letter and this slows things down substantially (approx 10 seconds to type in a known name, wait for ajax, and get the results. )

this wouldn't be that much of a problem but as the search is working, it locks the browser.

Hi
the site I'm developing will contain 30 K addresses (it'll be a national repository) and I'll have the same problem for sure.
I've seen in the code that you have plans for paging : have you got any schedule for it ?
Thanks for your great job

Hi
I posted a patch containing the code for paging.
However, the AJAX search engine should be reworked in order to access all the pages.
