Yes that would be handy (but not compatible with the full incremental  
search)

That's the one I'm finding elusive

Yes, nothing I build beeps.

I played around with it. I can easily get used to 2 seconds or even  
1, and then it's handier in case of mistypes. But that's assuming you  
*know* about the delay. For the real world, 3 seconds seems to work  
as a good compromise.
