Again on massive filesystems, the very first character is likely to bring a likewise massive amount of search results that we need to maybe query info for, then create icons and widgets for. While it's impressive we can do that, it's also expensive and likely pointless, for the first character. Typing a second character is however very likely to considerably reduce the amount of items to categorize and show. So start actually searching from there. Testing on a filesystem with 1434099 files indexed, trying 5 semi-random 1 character searches (n, h, t, i, o) returns on average 168K items (min. 78771, max. 331471), trying 5 semi-random 2 character searches (no, he, th, in, on) returns on average 34K items (min. 11133, max. 94961), which is a more approachable set. Doing this is enough that typing on a filechooser search entry feels completely fluid.

-
Information about your system. For instance:
- What operating system and version
- For Linux, what version of the C library
And anything else you think is relevant.
-
How to reproduce the bug.
If you can reproduce it with one of the test programs that are built in the tests/ subdirectory, that will be most convenient. Otherwise, please include a short test program that exhibits the behavior. As a last resort, you can also provide a pointer to a larger piece of software that can be downloaded.
-
If the bug was a crash, the exact text that was printed out when the crash occurred.
-
Further information such as stack traces may be useful, but is not necessary.
Bug fixes and improvements
Changes should be submitted as merge request to the GTK project. If a merge request fixes an issue, the description should mention the issue number.
