Use case for pausing the query would be, at least for me as a laptop user (often on battery and power saving mode, which limits CPU performance), to be able to browse through the results more "staticly", like reading a book. I know I'm not making myself much clear, so I've attached a screenshot...

Exporting the results after the long-running queries would serve that purpose as well.
You can export the results of text search by:
  • Using the 'Mark' books feature of Text search
    You don't have to wait while it displays the snippets in the results list, as soon as it starts doing that, select Mark books->Mark all matched books in the library and then Close
  • Then search book list for 'marked:true'
  • Then create a Catalogue of the resultant list in a suitable format.
You can add Create Catalogue to a toolbar or menu if you can't remember where it's hidden.

BR
