Search results flicker and shift when creating GameObjects or Assets from docked Global Search window

Unity: Search

Won't Fix

6.6.X

6.4.X

6000.4.0a2 onwards

The flagged PR has modified how refresh are performed and how sorting happens. The flicker is not great but it comes with a lot of perf improvements so we will keep the code this way.

Steps to reproduce:

Create a new project using Universal 3D template
Open the Global Search window (Ctrl+K)
Dock the Global Search window anywhere in the Editor
Type in "create"
Double-click on a few search results to create GameObject/Assets
Observe the Search list

Actual results: Search results flicker and the name titles visually shift

Expected results: Search results remain stable and do not flicker or visually shift

Reproducible with versions: 6000.4.0a2 (79bd4f638ac0), 6000.4.0b12, 6000.5.0a8

Not reproducible with versions: 6000.3.11f1, 6000.4.0a1

Tested on (OS): macOS 26.2
