Freezes when entering URL

[aadcg]

I think it's due to the call to input->queries that fetches search engine suggestions in prompter:filter-postprocessor. Maybe it's possible to make it more efficient but, regardless, there should be (1) a mechanism that only triggers it given that a certain minimum of characters has been inserted and (2) an upper bound of time to wait for the return values of input->queries given that the internet connection may be slow.

I think the issue mentioned in pull request #2998 is also at work here. I've been using the development build compiled over sbcl on Debian 12 as well as Fedora 38; & have the exact same problem.

@wvstolzing I don't think that's related.

Could one of you test the command set-url with the following patch applied (buffer.lisp)?

 (define-class new-url-or-search-source (prompter:source)
   ((prompter:name "New URL or search query")
-   (prompter:filter-preprocessor
-    (lambda (suggestions source input)
-      (declare (ignore suggestions source))
-      (input->queries input
-                      :check-dns-p nil
-                      :engine-completion-p nil)))
    (prompter:filter nil)
-   (prompter:filter-postprocessor
-    (lambda (suggestions source input)
-      (declare (ignore suggestions source))
-      (input->queries input
-                      :check-dns-p t
-                      :engine-completion-p t)))
    (prompter:actions-on-return #'buffer-load*))
   (:export-class-name-p t)
   (:documentation "This prompter source tries to \"do the right thing\" to

If the issue is gone, then it's due to input->queries as I've pointed out and #2998 is unrelated.

It's hard for me to reproduce the issue you're facing. Theoretically, throttling the network bandwidth could show it.

I, too, have this issue. I have commented out the lines you specified in buffer.lisp and ran set-url, but the lagging still persists. Sometimes, if I type too quickly, then the entire application freezes and I have to force quit. I'm on Debian 13 (Trixie/sid) and using Nyxt 3.9.0 (Flatpak).
