MaxLength on Text Input

[ajgray2017]

Hello,

Looking to max out the input length of my query. Looking through the source I see it mentioned a few places, but I don't see any options to override that value.

Is this a possibility?

Hey @ajgray2017!

The maxlength of 512 is designed to comply with the query length limit of Algolia's Search API. It isn't configurable if you're using autocomplete-js, only if you're using autocomplete-core directly. You could also change it after page load using the DOM API.

May I ask what is your use case? Are you willing to use Autocomplete with another API than Algolia?

This was an application specific issue I needed to solve, which I resolved by checking the length after the query was submitted, and confirming it was within my bounds, or rejecting the submission.

Thank you!
