"Search as you type" cause problems using mopidy:

Old Report:
Sonata is a great MPD client and only one small detail holds it back
from also working well with the Mopidy spotify MPD backend.

The implementation of the search function in Sonata use a live
search based on the two first typed characters in the search field.
This is not suitable for libspotify, it require a detailed search string
and will return about one hundred results from the huge spotify
library from this search string.

An option to disable the two digit live search, or just enable filtering
based on any number of characters would solve this.

This would be a great feature, to have MPD and Mopidy listening on
different ports and just change between two different profiles in
Sonata to listen to the local library or the spotify library.

Thank you for a great work with Sonata
