Is there any way I can set a View to AJAX refresh when text in a search box changes without pressing return?

At the moment I have the Custom Search Settings set as "Update the View results every time an input changes" but just typing a value into the filter search bar does nothing, I have to press return on the keyboard to facilitate the changes.

Is there any way I can achieve this automatically? Without having to press return.

Hello,

I assume we are talking about the search box outputted from shortcode [wpv-filter-search-box].

If it is, you are right, there isn't such a built-in feature within Views plugin, I suggest you add a feature request for it:

Our developers will evaluate it.

Hello Luo Yang, thank you for your response.

Yes the [wpv-filter-search-box] search box was what I was talking about, sorry I should have made myself more clear.

I have submitted a feature request for this as well.

So, to confirm, the only way to "action" filtering via text in the above mentioned search box is to either have a submit button pressed, or require the user to press return on their keyboard?

Yes, you are right. By default, in Views custom search form:
