[Bug 285050] Re: Improvements to search in Adept3

3) Begin search with 2 or 3 characters:

Timbl explained
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/adept/+bug/263438/comments/25)
that Adept 3 requires at least four characters to start searching.

This behaviour is not expected by the user, who probably used search in
the KDE4-menu (Kickoff) or the Alt-F2-menu (whatever it's called)
before. The KDE4-menu will search upon the first character entered while
the Alt-F2-menu needs two characters. So it would make sense to allow
search with 2 characters in Adept to have at least some consistency.

Furthermore, with the current search users won't (easily) find certain
apps/packages, whose names consist of only 3 characters. E.g: VLC, K3B,
Ark, GCC. Because of this, I consider searching with 3 characters a
mandatory feature (as far as usability is concerned). No
packages/important keywords with only 2 letters come to my mind, however
as stated above, a 2-character search would (in my eyes) be even better.
