Search is slow, causing confusion. Submitting search term reloads page.

I was about to write that submitting the search form is only reloading the page, when it turns out you don't actually have to submit it at all!

Once I saw that some results do appear if I hang back and wait, the main issue may be just that the search is slow.

BUT the UX of hitting enter while in a search box (which is almost muscle memory for me), and having the page reload with the search term and all the results thrown away, is a little wonky.

I suppose the submission action could be prevented?

Hope this helps!
