Using Web Workers is likely to speed up the search (no more setTimeout) and make the UI more responsive (workers run in a separate OS thread), but they have the downside of not being able to share objects with the main page. This would require us to duplicate the index/data in memory and may make the app slower to boot.

You can use my EasyWebWorker library for Fallback (ie) support by the way :) Just saying...

Closing this for now. The current search is fast enough.
