 * Hi and thanks for creating an unofficial Algolia plugin for WordPress!
 * My question is : how about setting a minimum query length (for instance 3 characters)
   before doing search? It would be a great way to reduce API calls and budget.
 * Thanks!

   which may or may not have all of the parts needed inside our copy of the plugin
   here.
