 * I really like this plugin in general, and it does almost exactly what I want 
   it to. However it has a small but critical misstake for our website where the
   search time is > 1 sec for some reason.
    The timeout method for with canceling
   of requests when more letters are added exists, however the time spent is still
   dependant on how many characters you change before letting it complete… The solution
   I made was to make the timeout actually have a time (it’s in ms, not sec btw),
   and CANCEL the timeout whenever a new letter is added, forcing it to only do 
   the search if no new letter has been added for so many milliseconds.
