[Enhancement] ⏳🔎 User configurable time delay in Search TextBox for Live Search

Hi, Martin!

Thank you for your hard and wonderful work on Aedict! I've been using it for many years, and always recommend it to any Japanese learner I meet!

There's one suggestion I'd like to make to improve it, though - a time delay in the Search TextBox. While I think "Live Search" is great, it clearly eats the battery away when I'm doing a lot of searches. Being able to disable it is nice (I have it disabled most of the time), but I think an even nicer alternative would be to add a configurable time delay (e.g., in ms) to enable automatic / "Live" search only after that amount of time has passed after the last entry in the TextBox. That would bring the best of both worlds: no need to tap the search icon for every search while still being battery-friendly! :)

Thanks again for your great app!
