"The registry setting change works for me as well in 5.  It was the first change I made when I went from 4 to 5.   The hang is affected by hardware, your database size and content (I suspect), and how much other stuff you have running at the time.  I was first using v4 on a three year old laptop with 2GB memory.  Search delays were painful.  Upgrading to 4 GB helped and also optimizing the database seems to help.  Still I eventually turned off SearchAsYouTypeDelay.  The delay was worse with v5 so I turned it off.  I also was having occasional extreme delays (&gt;30 secs) when I updated note titles.     I recently received a new peppy laptop with 8 GB memory and search delays are now acceptable to me and I like the v5 search changes so I have turned the registry key back on.  The note title delays are mostly gone now too.   I do agree though that this change should be in the UI, or at least in the debug menu, for those that don't like to tinker with their registry. \n"
