listview filter reveal min lenght?

listview filter reveal min lenght?

Hi all,
I really like the JQM 1.3.1  filter reveal option and I need it to filter a php-mysql query.
It works perfectly but it begins to show results as soon as I type something.
That's ok with the default behaviour of the filter.
But I need to enable the filter once the user has typed at least 4 characters.
Is there a sample that show how to do this in a php-mysql environment?

TIA

tony
