How to add delay/timeout so the script waits a second before making AJAX call? (i.e. to give the user time to finish typing before making call)

Answer 1

Try to add the function $timeout in your search scope.

Example :

function Ctrl($scope, $timeout) {
    $scope.search = function() {
        $timeout(function(){

          /* Execute your script */

        }, 1000); //add timeout 
    }
}
