Is there a way to start the bubble search after the first character is typed?

I have created a very nice way of searching my site using the search feature. It is intended to help lookup stocks and need to start the search after the first letter is typed.

Is this possible?

Have you tried using this plugin?

Yes. It can start the search on the first character and on the demo it works. However, when I put it on a test page with nothing else on there, the page immediately began timing out and in a few minutes I had generated a few different error messages.

I am searching through a list of apprx. 10k items. I think that may be also why the performance issue is coming up.

As it stands, the native bubble > input forms > search box is the only one that seems to be suited for this scenario. It seems to not impact page load & this search box is on all pages. Trying to figure out if I can make that one work.

Doesn’t the Bubble Searchbox already do this? Or am i mistaken?

@insightrade are you looking for something like this :slight_smile:

I use the Input Watcher plugin, you point the input watcher to the input, and you refence the input watchers value, it updates immediately after typing

It starts searching after the second letter.

Just tested and this does what I am referring to. Could be a way to approach this. Need to test performance as that is where others got hung up. Thanks for posting that!

Thanks, I am taking a look at this plugin as well as it was mentioned in the other thread… : )
