I actually like this feature. I'm often following a tutorial, or using a command on a newer install, and suddenly a command's not found -- it's really nice to be able to see how to get past the obstacle immediately without Googling, guessing, or trying to figure out how to make the "apt-cache search" command tell you what you want to know.
Also, for me the loading time isn't this long and is greatly reduced after the first such search. I'm guessing your system is under RAM pressure and your disk is fragmented.
