  Hi Team,

  I have implemented custom search with wj-auto-complete but it only works when you type two letters in the search box. Is that by design? Is it possible to make it work with one search letter? I need to trigger the “itemsSourceFunction” when user type only one word in the search box.

  Thanks,

  Hi,

  This is the default behavior of AutoComplete. It only starts the search when at least 2 characters are entered in the input element. You can change this number by using the minLength property of the AutoComplete.

  Simply set its value to 1 and it will trigger the search as soon as a single character is entered in the element.

  Regards,
