Allow searching while database updates about fsearch HOT 5 CLOSED

Searching while the database updates is now possible.

That would be great. One of the bummers of using fsearch is when it is updating the database and you can't search anything until it finishes, and that could take some time.

@cboxdoerfer I know this has been closed, but would it be possible to start searching right after opening FSearch? If I open it, I have to wait for the "Updating Database..." message in the status bar to go away for search results to come up.

@AtilioA, searching while the database is scanned should already work with the latest changes, even right after the start. But just to be clear, FSearch still has to load the database file from disk first, which is usually pretty quick, and during that time searching isn't possible.

Yeah, I forgot about that 😅. The message is a bit misleading, though - "Loading database" better conveys the meaning intended, but I guess FSearch uses that for actual database update as well and might do no differentiation between them as of today?
Anyways, that would be solved only by minimizing to the tray, then.
