Im using the jQuery autocomplete widget on an existing project and there is an option to only fire the filter event after a number of characters are typed.  I dont see that option mentioned on the Angular autocomplete component.  Am I missing something?

Hi Randal,

The following documentation example demonstrates how to enhance the built-in filtering functionality by providing a custom logic to filter the data set only if the filter contains some given minimum length:

I hope this helps.
