[jira] [Created] (NIFI-5993) NiFi text search improvment

Nimrod Avni created NIFI-5993:
---------------------------------

             Summary: NiFi text search improvment
                 Key: NIFI-5993
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NIFI-5993
             Project: Apache NiFi
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Core UI
    Affects Versions: 1.8.0
            Reporter: Nimrod Avni
             Fix For: 1.9.0


The NiFi textual search on all the components in the canvas has some big issues

The searching refreshes every time you type in a new letter, since the NiFi canvas can get very big quickly, the searching takes up a lot of time and resources. I had more then a few times where i typed in 2 letters and made my chrome tab crash. I had to resort to typing what i want to search in a notepad and copying it to to search box to avoid it searching every time i type in a new letter.

I think it can be resolved by better textual indexing or potentially making the search box do an "on demand" search, where the user clicks the search button or the enter key to start the search.
