How to add debouncing to the plugin?

[unitedus-emil]

Is it planned to add support for debouncing Algolia sources into the plugin? If not would it be possible for someone to explain how that might be achieved for users using a custom autocomplete.php template? I understand from the Algolia docs and some discussion on the autocomplete.js github (https://github.com/algolia/autocomplete/issues/50) that I need to adjust sources but I'm struggling to see how I can adapt that to work in the template. We are a paid customer of the plugin, any help greatly appreciated!

I know there's a debounce property as per the current version of Autocomplete we still have for out of box https://github.com/algolia/autocomplete/tree/v0.38.0#datasets

However, I'm not sure how exactly to implement debouncing, truth be told.

Based on a found codesandbox at https://codesandbox.io/s/l9wrmkyzmq?file=/index.js:227-242, it may be as simple as just setting a value in milliseconds.

Closing as a non issue for the moment based on my reasoning here:

Given that real time is largely how Algolia has intended autocomplete and suggestions to be displayed, I have a feeling that we’re probably not going to switch this for out of box.
