REVISION SUMMARY
  We currently postpone searches 200ms, but as this causes a great deal of online traffic, and no small amount of visual clutter (a whole lot of items appearing and disappearing very rapidly), the proposal is to postpone the search for one and a half seconds.
  
  nb: This might seem an arbitrary number, but given the psychological effect that three seconds seems to be what humans consider a moment (and in the case of waiting for something to happen, a moment is that time when you think "this is taking a bit long, isn't it?"), the idea is to postpone for half of such a conceptual moment.
