+Array of characters matching keyboard event `key` values. This is useful when needing to support a specific character irrespective of the keyboard layout. Note, that this list is separate from the one specified by the `delimeters` option, so you'll need to set the value there to `[]`, if you wish to disable those keys. Example usage: `delimeterChars={[',', ' ']}`. Default: `[]`

 #### minQueryLength (optional)
 
 How many characters are needed for suggestions to appear. Default: `2`.
