Suggestion

[Andrew Turner]

I fixed one bug surrounding the issue - that pressing return would not
always add the correct results, as it might operate before the search
had been carried out.

I believe Dan's worry was that there would still be a significant
pause to figure out how many tracks were going to be appended before a
dialog box could appear, which might be almost as annoying as the
current behaviour.

I'll have a look myself to see if this can be made fast enough to be usable.
