Problem
-----------
Every time the user changes the content of the search-bar the Dash updates its result-view. When typing, this results in result-view screen flickering, because with every new input-character the result-view gets updated.

Common solution for this problem
-----------------------------------------------
Is to cache the last user-input and search only after a delay, as long as there has been no new user input. This function is called 'Debounce' in ReactiveX -> http://reactivex.io/documentation/operators/debounce.html

Pros:
* less screen flickering
* less resource usage (the search-query is often executed only once)

Cons:
* very slow search results take from a user point-of-view longer, because they get executed after the debounce-delay.
