I am having a strange problem. My datatables search requires at least two characters. How can i remove this threshold? This is the only thing i changed.

$('.table1').DataTable({
        "aLengthMenu": [[2, 5, 7, -1], [2, 5, 7, "All"]],
        "iDisplayLength": 2
    });

@GuruprasadRao i want exactly opposite of the linked question? – Steve Mar 06 '17 at 04:02
So, what threshold you want it to be? – Guruprasad J Rao Mar 06 '17 at 04:14

Try just to change `if(this.value.length >= 3 || e.keyCode == 13) {` for `if(this.value.length >= 1) {` in the answer @GuruprasadRao linked. – Louys Patrice Bessette Mar 06 '17 at 04:15
