I have had the same problem when waiting for a drop-down list.  I found .... 
accidently... that if you double click it works better.  There is nothing to 
tell you that.  Single clicks often eliminate your search criteria, and you 
have to start over.

When a record is judged unconfirmed, perhaps it could go to a special section 
of unconfirmed records.  Why clutter the working records?

  I typed Chester County into the Checklists search box. Nothing happened for 3 
minutes so I decided to work on something else while I waited for the search. 
Clicking on anything, even another program wiped the search box clean. I tried 
it 5 times with the same result. I left for awhile and tried again and then it 
worked fine. It might be easier to use if there was a "search" button to press 
so the user has an idea that it should be working. That goes for any of the 
automatic search boxes. I typed "blue" into the Photo Gallery search box and a 
bunch of results popped up. I typed "blue" into the Field Guide search box and 
nothing happened. Using the examples given on the Field Guide page I searched 
anax, green, juni, Anax junius and nax j. Only anax and Anax junius yielded 
results. All of the examples should have worked but even if they weren't 
supposed to, there was nothing to tell me that my search had failed. FYI, all 
the examples did work on the Photo Gallery page.
