Show A Search Progress Visual
Using the search function, especially in the Drawings module, seems instantaneous but can actually take almost a minute sometimes (maybe more?), depending on how many drawings are being searched. Currently, there is no visual indication that the search is in progress and the window shows a result of 0 drawings while it's thinking. I have seen people think their search returned no results and the start calling designers to find out why a thing hasn't been added to the drawings yet, when in fact the search just wasn't finished. And knowing that it sometimes can take a minute or two, I sometimes am just looking at a blank screen waiting for results to appear when there are actually no results, I just can't tell if the search is still processing.
A progress bar, or spinning circle, or just the word "Searching" to indicate the search is still in progress could potentially save a lot of time and effort trying to find something that is in fact there, just harder for the search to locate.
