I made GNOME Maps stop doing search queries faster than most people can type, with this One Weird Trick™: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-maps/-/merge_requests/584

Medium-to-fast typists will no longer see flickering search results and won't be doing "Hokuto no ken" network requests anymore. I presume #GNOME users will have less chances of collectively DDoSing servers when the Year of the Linux Desktop™ happens.
