Hi,

I use Search Widget in JS 4.13.

When I type in the search field, the search call API at once. I would like to have some timeout after when last symbol was typed in. I cannot find this property here Search | ArcGIS API for JavaScript 4.13

Hi Noah,

Thank you for the answer!

May be it can be taken to consideration?

I would suggest to add "suggestionDelay" in milliseconds. Default can be 0.

It will significant reduce number of requests while users typing.

I think you're talking about the suggestions returned from the Search widget? I don't think we have a way to delay the suggestions being returned.
