You could try command can execute to disable the command without adding IsEnabled property

private RelayCommand _startSearchCommand;
    public RelayCommand StartSearchCommand
    {
        get
        {
            return _startSearchCommand??
                   (_startSearchCommand=
                //Added can execute command , only execute if system is not busy at the moment.
                       new RelayCommand(async () => await OnExecuteSearch(), () => !IsBusy));
        }

    }

Command handler

internal async Task OnExecuteSearch()
    {
        IsBusy = true;

        //Execute your action
        //and finally
        IsBusy = false;

    }

Xaml

The canexecute in the Relay Command will control the IsEnabled property for you.
