Add a timer to limit autocompletion calls about french_locator_filter HOT 5 CLOSED

200ms between which action? Just type a letter in the search input form.

Another idea, it's to allow the autocompletion with a minimum number of letter, 3 or 4 for instance.

A timer between the end of user writing and api request sending in order to avoid send query which will not be use by qgis or the user.

In fact, the Nominatim plugin disallows autocompletion calls, and in this version, the user has to type on the space bar to trigger a search. It is also allowed to search only with string longer than 3 characters.
This is not especially easy to use. I prefer the idea of triggering a call only when typing is idle for more than 200ms.

we already limit to 2 letters before triggering the search. We can raise to 3 if needed.
Adding a timer is not so trivial given that this the search are threaded. I didn't find any built-in method at this point in QGIS classes.
