Description
### 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?
