Hi, In Mautic v4.0.1, PHP Version 7.4.19, Database 10.5.15-MariaDB-log : **I have this since the last few previous versions of Mautic** , and it’s kinda triggering (I use Chrome) : - List item the email search engine is very low and can’t support the search when 2 characters are typed “too fast”, so better wait 1 second before writing the next letter. - List item Once it does do the search through the email : I always have this white bar displaying (screenshot) and it becomes impossible to select an email, so I have to cancel the campaign, exit and come back in order for the search to work. I know it’s a detail, but it is making me lose some time at almost every campaign, furthermore it’s been there since the beginning. I hope that my explanation were detailed enough. ![2022-09-21_12h05_36](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/5/537ad8814c922a18b650b74f3e6aee8a6defaf58.png) ---

Add this to regular roll back of campaign not showing properly in the list is the best way to miss any element between test campaign and campaign… ![2022-09-21_14h56_00](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/mautic/original/2X/4/4e35c4c8970232a9b1bec1aced0f41624af7f404.png) ---

You are not alone here. This is a bit of a frustrating bug or maybe “feature” ( 🙂 ). In order to avoid this I use the arrow button instead of the search. May I ask what web server and OS you are running on ---

Ok, the arrow button can work but when the email list can be long 😕 I’m not so technical so I just know that it’s server Apache/2.4.38. I hope this bug would be correct, although I do hesitate to do updates regarding the potential bug it can create on campaign that are already running. ---

I am pretty sure I saw a PR get merged that fixed the long white bar part, but I can’t point which one it was. Does it still happen for you on the 4.4 / 5.x branch? You can check the current state of the 5.0 branch by using Gitpod: [Dashboard — Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/#https://github.com/mautic/mautic) You can check the 4.4.9 branch here: [Dashboard — Gitpod](https://gitpod.io/new/#https://github.com/mautic/mautic/tree/4.4) ---

In 4.4.8 the issue is still there. I did not knew what was happening and now I understand that I am not alone. As I looked over the release info for 4.4.9, the bug is present also there. I am not aware of an improvement in 5. I am on a VPS with 2 core and 2Gb with 158 emails (and \> 3000 contacts, but not relevant). ---
