Wait to Filter - AJAX Data

tdktank59

Hey so I have 120,000 rows of items that I am throwing at this table via AJAX (only 10-20 at a time) and need to allow searching. However when I start typing into the search box it immediately starts pinging the server for data (eg: every keyup it requests more data)

Is there a way to make this wait say 5 seconds then send the request?

Should look harder next time (searched the API and stuff but didn't see anything before I posted.)... Found the answer
