As a user I would like the ability to delay the filtering (currently the query is fired to the database each time you tab out of a field), so that my search can be made more efficient.
A specific use case is filtering large tables such as change log entries. You need to filter on 5 fields in a huge table, each time you tab out of a field the query triggers and you have to wait long to get a result... which you know is not the result you want as you want to key in 4 more filters on other fields.
Saving a view helps a little but is not at all providing a good experience for the above use case.

How do you imagine this should work? Would you delay for some N seconds and restart every time a filter text box is edited, and once N seconds pass without editing actually do the query? Or would you add a new button to say 'Apply Filters' and not make any attempt to query until that is pressed?
