    The delay is 2 sec, and it is caused by sit-for in minibuffer-message.

sit-for is supposed exit whenever you type another character.
So in what sense does it cause a "delay"?

    My patch doesn't display the search prompt at all for successful search 
state.

That is a good option to add, I guess.
