Reduce Google maps API requests sent through Searchbox Geoplaces suggestions

Hi Everyone,

I’ve noticed using the chrome dev tools that the autosuggestion function of a Geographic places searchbox sends a lot of API requests to google, and it’s costing me a lot money.

Each time a user types an additional letter, the suggestions lists updates and an API request is sent.

How can I reduce my API usage ? I would like autosuggestion list to display only after 5 letters have been typed for example, but I haven’t found a way to do it yet.

Thanks !
