Currently, the AutoComplete offers only supplementing the "contains", "startsWith", and "endsWith" filter operators. According to the offical client-side API documentation:

https://docs.telerik.com/kendo-ui/api/javascript/ui/autocomplete/configuration/filter

It would be a good option to expose the "equals" options as well.

Hi Team,

I would like to request to include masking to the Input element of a Kendo UI AutoComplete.  This would help if a user needed to input a specific format into the autocomplete such as an email, ssn, or phone number but the data did not include special characters during filtering. 

Thank you!  

If I have a min length of 3 and enforceMinLength set to true, if you enter in 3 or more characters and then start deleting them (keyboard) once you get below the min length the dropdown remains open when it should close.

 

See the dojo option under the enforceMinLength API documentation for a sample to test.

 

 

 

Currently autocomplete searches after each character entered, which can have big impact for large result sets. When user type fast 3 chars there is no need to search 1,2,3 just 3. So it would be beneficial to allow setup some delay 200-300 milliseconds for search.
