The code looks good, but I'm slightly concerned about the usability aspect in that this works
differently from type and search in Dolphin. There's also no visual feedback when the search
is reset.

I think it would be a good idea to get some input on this from our usability experts.

    There's no need to stop the timer here, since calling start() will restart it.
