Okay my initial read:

That looks like the typing happened before we even got the page Initialized, so when it did load, we load the SearchText from the extension and blow away what the user had already typed.

Possibly related to this issue: I'm finding that inputting a term quickly is resulting in certain files not to be shown in the results. But when I type the same search term slowly, the affected files are displayed correctly. Obviously, the results should be the same regardless of typing speed.

I'll try to get a recording showing it in action.
