How to filter/search on blur instead of key press?

I am using the columnFilter plugin to add filter functionality for each individual column as well as the normal global search option. The data is processed on the server via php, but the queries are quite heavy and to fetch just 25 records it takes around 2 seconds, so for searching, if the table tries to fetch data for every key press in the search boxes, it becomes quite annoying. Is there a way to search only after the user finishes typing and hits Enter or clicks outside?
