Card search autosubmit is a bit keen about ashes.live HOT 5 OPEN

This is a tricky one, since it's all about the app guessing when you're done. It's trivial to tweak the delay upwards, but that also makes it feel unresponsive when you're done and it just sits there waiting for input. Would it help if the searchbox remained focused and you could type as it loaded in the background, do you think?

I think if the partial word matches returned data then it would be less of an issue.
as it is, if I pause half way through abundance, then abun doesn't return any results.

Hm, this looks like it might actually be a problem with how card text is being indexed. abun returns zero results, but abund returns Abundance. I'll look into that on the API side, too.

I've been using the card search on my phone lots recently, and am now convinced that you don't need the auto-submit.

It's really annoying on mobile if you mistype,
pause to realise, (submit removes focus and keyboard), click on box, delete text in the box, (autosubmit removes keyboard again), Click on box, Hope that you spell it right this time...

You get my point 😀

Probably made worse by the partial word match issue, but I don't think the auto submit brings much to the party.

I've got a fix pending for the server-side issue (when there's a single word without any spaces, it will automatically search for it normally and as a prefix, which captures things a lot better even if there's only 2-3 letters). I'll be looking into improving the behavior on the front-end, as well. I'd like to keep the auto-submit, if possible, since otherwise I'll need another interface element up there, but I think it would be a lot improved if the focus didn't kick you out while it was searching so that you could either continue typing (and just have it run a subsequent search when you're done) or at minimum avoid closing the keyboard while you pause to think/etc.
