That would present the same problem initially. We would want the app
to return the search results as fast as it can, but since it takes
some times to load the machiney initially, the user would have to type
his query, wait a few seconds for the first results and then, after
that, the querying will get a better, snappier.

And this makes me think on when does gnome-shell span its
gnome-shell-calendar-server. I'm thinking about those applications on
Windows that registers itself to be started at launch. Do we want that
for our users? Or it's better to slow search at times.
