Changes (by joedolson):

 * keywords:  ux-feedback uniform-search has-patch needs-testing => uniform-
     search has-patch commit


Comment:

 Updated patch updates the @since reference and changes the comparison
 logic for `previousSearchStringLength` to `>` instead of `>=` so that a
 transition from 2 characters to 1 character does not trigger the AJAX
 query.

 Tested; works as expected:

 1) No autocomplete feedback.
 2) Query only fires when there are two or more characters in the query,
 whether characters are added or removed.

 Marking for commit.
