It's just you're browser - it's a very large javascript trying to execute; and some inferior browsers will freeze or at least appear frozen for rather long periods of time when you try to execute it. Try FireFox. Another solution is to type you're query somewhere else then copy- paste it in - when you begin to type 'delete' for instance, after hitting the 'd' it immediately starts searching for all messages with 'd' in their name, then 'de' then 'del' and so on, and the first two or three letters usually return a huge number of messages which slows down the apparent return time of you're query a lot.
