 * Hi , is there a option to adjust delay of calling Ajax for search on key press?,
   if I type slower I do not want to make Ajax request to many times.

 * Sure, add this to your theme functions.php:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       add_filter( 'relevanssi_live_search_configs', function( $configs ) {
           $configs['default']['input']['delay'] = 300;
           return $configs;
       } );
       ```
   
 * 300 ms is the default delay, increase the value to what feels good.
