Text Filter Microsoft Minimum Length
I am using the Microsoft Text Filter to filter a table and am I trying to figure out a way to force users to enter at least 3 characters before it returns results.
Is there a way to do something like this?
Thank you!

AlexOllinger asfaik it is not possible. Would appreciate Kudos 🙂 if my solution helped.
Hi AlexOllinger
As tested, this function doesn't support currently.
You may add an idea in Idea forum.
You can add a text line to remind users to enter more than 3 characters.

parry2k Understood. Are there any other solutions that might get me to that functionality?
Basically, we will have users come in and search approx 20MM records (so dropdown /list slicer won't work).
The MS Text Filter works great as it can search those records on name or address or whatever but I am hitting a bit of a wall with the minimum text length requirement. We are trying to avoid users from entering A and getting all results and mining them.
Could there be a way where the user can enter anything but the table wont show results unless the LEN => 3?AlexOllinger I'm afraid of any solution to achieve this. Sorry man.
