    repro:
    in a new project that has only a samplescene.unity in it start typing "samplesc" in the search field of the project panel.
    what we get = nothing until the keys are released
    expected = search as we type, like in Hierarchy View.

    We are using a debouncing threshold since 2017.4. So you can expect a delay of up too 250 ms when you type.

    what for? there is no delay in hierarchy and it feels right.

    If I remember correctly, the search field was changed in 2017.4 to use a delayed text field in order to be more efficient with large project (at that time other users logged an issue to have the text field be delayed/throttled)

    Not a fan of crippling search for every other project because of some whales but I get it.
    you know when the delay slider is getting some love? it's still broken in even alpha versions of unity
