Add minLetters parameter to Query Suggestions plugin

[guglielmi-s]

hi,
i didn't find the way to invoke the query suggestion plugin only if the length of the current search string is greater than a specific number

Could be a solution add a condition before call the getAlgoliaResults in the getItems?

getItems({ query }) { 
  if (!query || query.trim().length < 3) {
         return getAlgoliaResults({

in createQuerySuggestionsPlugin.ts

autocomplete doesn't have this feature by default because there are plenty queries that give meaningful results under three characters (an often chosen limit), and thus is harmful to UX

thanks for the reply.
however it would be very useful to have a parameter (minLetters) to set the minimum number of required letters for trigger a suggestion
