If it's responsive enough, then it won't be interrupted by while-no-input.
That is not entirely true. If it spends even a tiny amount of time
being busy, then it can sometimes be interrupted by while-no-input.
So we would need to do the work to make it use while-no-input
correctly, even if those cases are rather rare.
What does it need to do? Any input character that triggers
while-no-input will certainly be intepreted by the search command
loop. Most of the time, this will change the search string.
