experimenting with server side

Hi,

I've successfully implemtented datatables with server side processing as we have quite a large database. I've yet to implement any server side paging as I simply wanted to see a search get sent to the server and the server sent the json data back.

I've noticed that the search begins as soon as you type a single character, which potentially might put quite a load on the server. Is there any way to add a search button or start searching after a few characters or a delay or start searching on blur, or something?

Many thanks!
