Description
Currently when a customer is typing in the search suggestion box, every character that is typed is immediately sent to the server. Typical auto-complete boxes will have a delay before sending the request to ensure this doesn't happen. This PR simply uses underscore's debounce method to throttle the requests with a default amount of 300ms, following the default configuration of jQuery's delay method: https://api.jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#option-delay
