Specifying Minimum Search Characters on Autocomplete
I was unable to get the "Min search characters" field to work, but after reading SA-6014 (https://pdn.pega.com/support-articles/issue-autocomplete-minimum-search-characters) I realized that it works in a different way.
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to force a minimum number of characters to be entered before the autocomplete populates, or in other words to stop people from pressing the down arrow and loading all the data.
Thanks

Hi Pranav,
It is not possible to disable the down arrown key for the autocomplete control OOTB.
The down arrown key triggers the autocomplete field automatically.
if your concern is poulating a lot of data on screen, you can try limiting the data displayed to the users by setting the "Max results displayed" for the autocomplete control.
