### Live search Options  explained

* **Trigger search when changing a facet on settings?** - Will trigger the search if the user changes a check-box, radio button, slider on the front-end search settings panel.
* **Trigger search when typing?** - Triggers the search when the user types in something.
* **Minimal character count to trigger search** - The minimum amount to start the search. Each option above respects this rule.
* [Mafnifier and Return button triggers](/behavior/return-key-and-magnifier-icon-click-actions.md) can also be changed

### How to disable live search?

By turning OFF the **Trigger search when changing a facet on settings?** and the **Trigger search when typing?** options.

### Can I start the search without the search phrase? (for example using only filters)

Yes, you actually can. Set the `Minimal character count to trigger search` option to 0. This way the search will start without any input characters.
