global config for min_length

[tinyfive]

Thanks for this great job first, guys !

I don't understand why the default search trigger input length is 2. Although it could be set on element, but really need hook to set the length for global application.

@tinyfive Mostly just historical purposes and that it hasn't really been an issue for most people. It originally just defaulted to 2 (wasn't around back then; pretty arbitrary) about two years ago support to configure it at the element level.

If you want to have a go at a pull request to add this it seems like a useful feature.

Are you talking about the minLength from which the autocompletion starts ? It would seem it's stuck after 3 letters for me and I can't find information on the doc. How do you change it per-field ? Is it reading data-attributes ? How can I pass it via html_options ?

For other like @Startouf who end up here, you can set it per field with 'min-length'
Something like :'min-length' => 5, will generate something like
<input type="text" name="something_great" id="something_great" delay="1000" min-length="5" class="string form-control ui-autocomplete-input" placeholder="It's Great!" data-autocomplete="/something_great/autocomplete">
