 Setup: any recent WordPress Version, Plugins irrelevant, Mac, Chrome

 On the screen: /wp-admin/plugin-install.php

 The search field allows browser based autocomplete, and in my personal
 example I quite often search for "better search and replace". So once I
 typed in "better" I already see the autocomplete. But the timing for the
 ajax reload is so short, that moving the hand from the keys, to the
 arrows, pressing down and hitting return will not be enough.

 Instead it loads the already found plugins (and better will not find
 better search replace), and voids the browser autocomplete.

 What I'd expect:

 a working autocomplete, so at least a longer pause, before calling the
 ajax search/resetting the form, or pausing the process when arrow
 keys/mousemovement are registered.

 Possible other solution:

 disable autocomplete for the plugin search field, it's worse than the
 solution above, but at least the not working autocomplete, would no longer
 confuse the UX.
