Stop 'Find' in Xcode from searching dynamically?

Is there a way to stop Edit>Find in Xcode from searching dynamically as I type?

It drives me nuts to have it interrupt my typing to search....

Thanks.

This is really annoying behavior. And as of the last time this question was asked there is no way to shut off the live search. But you can speed up the search by selecting some search parameters.

Next to the search magnifying glass icon there is a disclosure triangle if you click on that you will see a menu like this:

If you click the "Show Find Options" a new menu will appear below the search-bar:

If you reduce the libraries to be searched to two or so the search-bar will almost be responsive... almost. Reducing languages and match type helps too.
