Description

When using the search functionality in the drive, search is triggered as users type characters into the field. This results in a slow a frustrating experience, especially on large drives, as the search is stuck searching for the first few characters of the query before the user can finish typing.

### Steps to reproduce

1. In the drive, click "Search" to locate a document
2. Start typing the title of the document
3. Notice that the search gets triggered after a few characters are typed

### Relevant logs

```shell

```

### Expected behavior

A button or the enter key should trigger the search once the full query has been entered.

### Which operating system are you using?

Linux/BSD/UNIX

### What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Mozilla Firefox

### Extensions

NA

### Version

2025.9.0
