Block Search With Minimum Letters

In plugin options you have it. Click “search bar” in options and change “minimal characters” to 3.

Thank you @rafix777 , but this option is “Min characters to SHOW AUTOCOMPLETE”.

In fact, if I set minimum 3:

1) when enter “Sa” (for Samsung) it doesn’t start autocomplete, but
2) if I press enter or search, it gives the results of “Sa”

I would like to stop the research/query.

Any advice ?

Thank you

Hello,

It require custom snippet. I prepared one:

add_action( 'template_redirect', function () {
  if ( \DgoraWcas\Helpers::isProductSearchPage() ) {

    $keyword = get_search_query();

      if ( empty( $keyword ) || mb_strlen( $keyword ) < 3 ) {
        wp_redirect( home_url() );
        exit();
      }

  }
});

add_action( 'wp_footer', function () {
?>
<script>
  (function ($) {
    $('.dgwt-wcas-search-form').on('submit', function (e) {
      if ($(this).find('.dgwt-wcas-search-input').val().length < 3) {
        e.preventDefault();
        return false;
      }
    });
  })(jQuery);
</script>
<?php
}, 100 );

You have two ways to add this code to your theme:

1. Open the functions.php in your Child Theme and add the code at the end
2. or install the Code Snippets plugin and apply this code as a snippet

Beautiful ! Thank you @damian-gora

If you fix also the flickering on scroll for the desktop I will vote WCAS for the Nobel of the plugin !

Thank you
