Comment (by adamsilverstein):

 @aidanlane I see a search request on every keystroke without this patch.

 I looked into the existing 1000ms debounce i mentioned in media-grid -
 that is actually used to reset the search url in the browser... if you
 type a search (without the patch), you will see the ajax request fire on
 every key request, then when you pause typing, the search is added to the
 url after 1 second of not typing.

 Here is a screencast with the console open showing the excessive ajax
 requests:
