Description Helder 2012-10-08 12:40:29 UTC
When I'm using a computer with slow internet conection, it is really inconvinient having to wait the API request
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?format=json&action=opensearch&search=EXAMPLE&namespace=0&suggest=
to complete before I get the option to search pages containing the EXAMPLE.

There is no reason to wait for that since it will always point to
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=EXAMPLE&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=1
independently of the API response.
