Annoyingly busy. I sort of feel like this is a prime example why you don't put engineers in charge of UI. Just because we can is not a good enough reason to do it.

Also, having both a dropdown and a whole page refresh, what?

It feels less busy after you've used it for a little while, and your brain has had the chance to adjust to having most of the page change whenever you type something.
