That is IMHO completely unrelated to Internet connection as your local
database (ie. the one you download via Refresh or apt-get update) is
searched only.

What if term was searched only when 2 (or 3) characters are written?
It makes no sense to search for packages containing less than 3 chars
and search takes quite a time. I agree.
