hi. I have a little problem with a second part of this code:

1. $('.inline_search').keyup(function (event) {
   var $this = $(this);
   $('.paginator').hide();
   if ($this.val().length >= 3) {
   $('#living-stories-dialog .list .ls').search($this.val());
   $('.paginator').hide();
   var search_complete = true;
   }
   if ((search_complete = true) && ($this.val().length < 3)) {
   document.getElementById('living_stories').innerHTML = '';
   return getJson();
   }
   });

of course function getJson is calling everytime i press a key (if number of symbols is less than 3). Data is loading about 3 seconds.
How to call this function ONCE, when number of symbols becomes less than 3?
thanks a lot
