did that ever work? i find the concept confusing. still not entirely
clear how you would define how long someone is typing after the last
keypress?

no, that holds for the filter and not for the query. see how confusing
that is in one box?

but that's different. it's an ugly popup, requires more interaction
and will not persist if you click around somewhere else?
