What did you do?

  • open Alerts Page
  • filter for a alert name, wait a few ms and try to delete or type more characters

What did you expect to see?

a responsive filter

What did you see instead? Under which circumstances?

The webpage gets very unresponsive, it cannot be used after all. I tried to capture some metrics using edge development tools:

We have around 530 rules in our instance grouped by 4 (1 large, 1 medium and 2 small sized groups).
We are in the process of switching from Prometheus2.55.1 to 3.X (3.4.2). We are facing a huge delay as soon as you type something in the search filter of alerts page compared to Prometheus2. Even characters got lost during typing.
