I'm trying to put together a live search input for an internal app I'm
working on and I can't seem to figure out how to delay the ajax call to only
fire if the user hasn't typed a character for half a second or so.  That
way, the request isn't firing after every character is entered as the user
is typing.  

Here is what I'm using, but I would like to build in some functionality
$('#search').bind('keyup',function() {
str = $('#search').val();
        if(str.length >= 3){
                $.ajax(.....)
        }
}

Thanks for the help.....

Cheers, David
