Missing feedback for longer search bar loading times #5393
Description
Describe the bug
When interacting with the search bar, it can take a while for results to be shown. Regardless of loading times, users have a hard time to figure out, what's going on.
If the view takes longer to load (> 2s) users might be confused and wonder, if something went wrong.
To Reproduce
Provide a link to a live example, or an unambiguous set of steps to reproduce this issue. Include configuration, logs, etc. to reproduce, if relevant.
- Navigate to a view with the search bar for example "Services"
- Type something into the search bar
- confirm
- Wait for the filter to be applied
- In some cases, the request takes a while to load
Expected behavior
If the request takes too long, a loading indicator would help users to see that the system is still intact, but take some time to handle the request.
Screenshots
Notice how long it takes (>20 s) for the filter to be applied. The interface doesn't provide any feedback, that the request was sent successfully and the system is still intact.
Users might misinterpret this and assume that something went wrong.
