GW 2018 SP1 client, build 129782
Address Book with 50k entries

When I type a full name (John Doe) into the filter in the top right corner of the Address Book and stop typing for a second after the letter D (John D), the client starts the search automatically and it freezes for multiple seconds. I cannot do anything, I cannot continue typing, cannot cancel the search. It is frustrating so I don't use it at all and this is bad. I would like to start the search only when I press Enter. Or there should be a setting for this, because one setting for every GW system simply doesn't work. If the Address Book contains only a few hundred items, then this auto search function is great. But with 50k items, it is cumbersome. Or maybe there should be a check. If the list contains x thousand or more items, then the auto search should be disabled.
