In your callback function or on your controller check how many characters
you're receiving and then impose your limit.
if len(received) < 4 then:
return dict(matches=None)
matches = do_query(received)
return dict(matches=matches)

When you have the source, everything is possible ;-) But in this case it is
just a normal check on what you got before you do anything.
