Display help message when user starts typing in autocomplete #482

Closed georgiana-b closed 4 years ago

georgiana-b commented 5 years ago

Currently a loading bar is displayed as soon as the user starts typing in autocomplete:

That is quite confusing, especially since no search is being performed until they type at least 3 characters. Instead we should display a helpful message like the one proposed by @zufanka in #441:

Search for a company name or government institution. Use at least 3 characters.

The loading should appear only after they type at least 3 characters.

@calypso Looks like this was almost solved except it starts the search after 2 letters. Could you please change that to 3 so that it fits the message?

@ca1yps0 could you please implement this?

zufanka commented 4 years ago

@georgiana-b I guess we can close this issue
