We get blocked because of the suggestion feature when we search. Pamac hangs because it fails to receive AUR response, because it floods the AUR.

I’m opening an issue on GitLab, hope this get looked at. New Pamac search suggestion floods AUR search (#1135) · Issues · Applications / pamac · GitLab

As I suggested here Responsible use of AUR

Maybe the default search should also be only in the repositories, instead of searching the AUR by default (clicking the AUR button would then trigger the search)?
