Searching in Cygwin Setup slow on Windows 10

Searching in Cygwin Setup slow on Windows 10

[Jim Reisert AD1C]

I'm running Windows 10 Pro Insider Preview, Build 10130 and setup-x86
2.871. Typing a string into the search box is slow - about one
character/second. Is it just me, or is this a known problem?  I do not
experience this on my Windows 7 machines.

I have replicated this on Windows 10 and also in Windows 7 when using
the cygwin-setup downloaded as of last week.

That's a good data point.  I haven't searched on Win 7 with the newest
setup.  I was recalling my experience from previous versions.  But
yes, you are right, same here on Win 7 with newest setup.  Glad to
know the problem is not specific to Windows 10.

Typing the search string was always slow.  The algorithm behind the
field checks synchronously for a match for each change in the input
field.  That's ... uncomfortable, to say the least.  Patches to
tweak the search algorithm to become faster are highly appreciated.
