Description
In #7637 Owen noted that it:
Would be nice to have a 'cancel search' button. Rather than having to do this on the main Mantid Plot gui.
Cancelling searching can be very unresponsive. Makes me think that progress reporting isn't frequent enough. It should be possible to cancel a search without waiting for more than a second.

Once paging(#8230) has been implemented this ticket will become invalid as the user will never have an option to perform a search that could take a significant amount of time (thanks to paging).

I tried searching one a few ISIS TS1 instruments with no restrictions on the search apart from the instrument and it was acceptably fast (a couple of seconds in the worst case) that I agree there's no need for a cancel button in routine operation.
I wonder if there's a possibility of things hanging though? Perhaps closing the window should just cancel the search.
