Having Some Kind of Visual Clue While Serching

There are times that the user has no idea whether the search is over or still in progress. Changing the cursor to hour-glass or a message on the status bar will help. Sometimes I've seen messages on the status bar but not always.
Another instance is when the program is starting for the first time. There is a delay before the display of the window. Some kind of splash screen can indicate that the program is started and progressing. This prevents the user from starting the program again and again and ending up with multiple instances of the program.
