Four things don't seem to quite be working with search on mobile that we should probably fix before pushing to stable. 1) If I type 'Hel' and stop typing I get a list of results. However as soon as I hit 'p'it instantly blanks all of these results. Instead I think the results should remain until new ones are available, as flashing results 2) When hitting the backspace button it should load results from a cache. Hitting the server again doesn't seem helpful as usually I do this to correct the problem in point 1 3) On my Android 4.3 I can't actually select results in the list. When I click on one, the entire list becomes focus 4) Closing the keyboard triggers another search for the exact same phrase (a solution to 2 would solve this)
Prioritization and scheduling of this bug is tracked on Mingle card https://wikimedia.mingle.thoughtworks.com/projects/mobile/cards/1493
Issue 3) seems to be present for me only if the keyboard is visible (Chrome on Android 4.2).
