Bug Description

Expected behavior:

 * I should be able to type "Vancouver" into the manual tz selection field and select the timezone for Vancouver.

Actual behavior:

 * Searches like "Vancouver" and "Paris" give no results, you have to type "vancouver" or "paris" instead.

 * This is exacerbated by the fact that the keyboard defaults to capitalizing the first letter, so by default (unless you explicitely turn off the shift key for the first letter), the search never returns any matches, ever.

Please ignore case when returning search results.

Tested on mako, image #64, ubuntu-system-settings 0.1+14.10.20140521-0ubuntu1

It is case insensitive. Have you got something unusual on your system?

I did actually get this, and I've got a fix.

The problem is on a slow device such as a Nexus 4 you can easily enter search terms while the model is still being constructed. We then tried to search in the empty model which doesn't give any results.

Fix is to defer the search until the model is completed.

ubuntu-system-settings (0.2+14.10.20140612-0ubuntu1) utopic; urgency=low

  [ Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre ]
  * Enable devices other than headsets: headphones and generic audio devices,
    and make the strings referring to headset more generic.

  [ jonas-drange ]
  * Rewrite "Keyboard sound" component in "Sound" panel to use
    "LanguagePlugin" which provides means to toggle keyboard sound
    setting.

  [ Iain Lane ]
  * time-date: Don't try to search while the model is building. Display
    an ActivityIndicator when searching while constructing the model to
    avoid confusing message. (LP: #1326475)
  * Make time-date tests more robust in the face of things taking a
    while to complete. (LP: #1329245)
