Often, while Tracker is still indexing, you'd like to continue
searching with the same terms again just by clicking the search button
(which is not grayed out). This feature you suggest will end up as a
frustration in such a case.

I hope the search-as-you-type feature is not implemented in t-s-t,
especially considering that loads of people type at different speeds,
and also because hitting enter shouldn't be much trouble after typing
the entry. Such a feature is unneeded elegance...
