The gold standard for the web should be: Craigslist Fast, functional, responsive.
Or McMaster Carr. RS, with it's laggy backend (I assume, as their recent UI shinification didn't change it: it was bad before) could learn a lot from them. Then again, McMaster Carr want you to use an app on mobile and the new RS site works on mobile quite well, with the lag more hidden by the inefficiencies of mobile browsing in general.
I agree with [this][1] idea: > an autocomplete has one chance to reorder per keystroke. if you got it wrong and you have a better ordering a bit later you must “swallow the sadness” (as per the original author of this wisdom) but never change already displayed items [1]: https://twitter.com/dan_abramov/status/1470751551568363530
