Hi Fabrice BM Raud, 

 

Good day to you. 

 

We have checked your requirement at our end. We have triggered the search event on before sent the request to server in Dropdown List component. So, you can use that event to achieve your requirement. Please refer the below code block. 

 

var controlProperty = 

            { 

                dataSource: customerList, 

                fields: { text: "ContactName", value: 'ContactName' }, 

                itemsCount: 100, 

                popupHeight: "200px", 

                width: "250px", 

                enableFilterSearch: true, 

                enableServerFiltering: true, 

                search: function (args) { 

                    //Sent the request to server on searchString value contains more than 3 characters 

                    if (args.searchString.length < 3) { 

                        args.cancel = true; 

                    } 

                } 

            };
