Using a delay on input field / using bindwithdelay

[chross]

I am currently looking at how to implement a search with delay.

The point is, I have a list of nearly 20000 entries with 5 columns and need tablewide search. This is very slow, especially when users are beginning to enter their search term. What I want is a certain delay on the input field, to only fire the search event when there is no further entry for x second. I thought, bindwithdelay would solve this, but simply adding it to the page did nothing. Further, I could not find an example for bindwithdelay or documentation on how to use these two together.

Kind regards
