Title says it all.

If you are trying to link a piece of text to something, and you type in a page name at a normal typing speed, it simply won't search at all. Whereas if you do it at one key per second it actually bothers to search with each new letter. Likewise, if you select pre-written text to link it you have to backspace to take away the last letter before it will actually search.

@x35: until this gets fixed the fastest way to search is via copy/paste, I've been adding issues to a list and I'm pasting in the full title plus issue number and it comes right up, I know it sucks but it's a decent temp workaround.
