Description
Feature Description
Addition of a cancel/stop button for queries this can be for custom or prebuilt queries that take too long to finish.
Are you intending to implement this feature?
No
Current Behavior
There's no way currently to cancel/stop a search query after clicking 'Run'
Desired Behavior
Clicking on the cancel/stop button should immediately cancel/kill the search job.
Use Case
This is really useful in situations when it takes a long time for a query to finish and a user would like to stop the search to rerun.
Implementation Suggestions
A button next to 'Run' can be an option whenever a query is running to cancel the query.

Research direction
Start at the existing Run flow for custom and prebuilt Cypher queries, tracing how the running search job is created and surfaced to the interface. Done means a stop/cancel control appears while a query runs and immediately cancels the search so the user can rerun it.
