Terrible incremental search when searching

"Terrible" is the mildest word I can use.

So, if anyone searches their bookmarks for "share":

  1. All the bookmarks including "s" are found and then shown: insanity
  2. Next the bookmarks including "sh" are found and then shown: insanity
  3. Next the bookmarks including "sha" are found and then shown: insanity
  4. Next the bookmarks including "shar" are found and then shown: insanity
  5. Next the bookmarks including "share" are found and then shown. At last, 15 seconds later.

This is Terrible design. Why oh why?

But wait, there's more:

If I type "*" in the omnibar, and then type "share", my browser freezes (yay!) for 15 seconds.

What should happen: when is read, then a SINGLE search is done for the single search string. Ah, sanity.
