Summary

If a search takes longer than a couple of seconds, a spinner will face-and-slide in from the bottom of the view. If it then takes a while longer, a text saying "Still looking" will fade in very slowly. If the search is near-instant (the general case), the spinner does not show up.

A video of this UI in action can be found here: http://leinir.dk/still-looking.mp4

Ah, thank you yes - there /is/ a video which some of the VDG has already seen on the Discover telegram group, but it turns out that posting such a thing isn't quite as straightforward as i'd hoped it would be... imgur does not allow for a straightforward upload of videos like that ;) i will just pop it up on my own host and link it in the description.
