Disabling instant search in 4.0

Am I the only one that doesn’t like the instant search function in the newest release?

Usually, it is great, but when working with shaders, it is a pain to work with. It was much simpler and faster to type two letters to get to the right node (e.g. Color Ramp → NO, Ambient Occlusion → IO, Math Node → NA)

Unless that part of the code was completely revamped, it would be great if an option to toggle between the two was implemented.

I totally agree with this. The old way was much faster once you memorized the keys. Also, I work with a stylus so the new search method means I have to set down my pen and type with both handles instead of just clicking a couple keys with my keyboard hand.
