feat: implement minimum search phrase length (utilities/file_location_listing#19)

+6 -0 (6 lines changed)

There's a pretty basic implementation in place now - the portal will pop an alert if the phrase is < 3 chars.

It's pretty rudimentary

  • You can bypass by tabbing a couple of spaces on the end of the term
  • Including an operator will bypass it

It's all I really need though - the aim is simply to avoid accidentally submitting a search for a single character.

It's also only enforced client side - at some point, I may have cause to have something else run searches via API
