Assuming that you are using the manifest UI
In /volumio/http/www4/scripts There are a bunch of app-**********.js files, all very similar
You just need to determine which one it is using. (Or just edit them all)
Open up Volumio in a browser, then open up the developer tools (F12 in alot of browsers)
I’m using firefox… click on the inspector button and look for the src of the script.
You can see from the pic that its using app-42e1ed945c.js ( Probably will be different in each different version of Volumio)
Open in your favorite editor and search for this.searchField.length>= after the = will be a number, change that to however many characters you want it to wait till it searches.
There are two instances of this in the file that you need to change.
You can change this value to whatever you want, (2 is the default) but setting it too high can be a bad too, so remember its not wating for an enter to be pressed, just a minimum amount of characters before the search happens. Lowering too maybe of benefit for Asian artist names as requested here
3 was the default in Volumio2, which works well for me.
If you are using classic UI then the app-**********.js will be here /volumio/http/www/scripts
If you are using contempory UI then the app-**********.js will be here /volumio/http/www3/scripts
The way I do it in windows… is I use FileZilla FTP to copy the file over, then notepad++ to edit, and again FileZilla FTP to copy them back.
