Hi @gajjardhara, thank you for your report

I found the core file where its defined as a constant for minimal character count even admin have configuration for that.

vendor\magento\frameworkSearch\Adapter\Mysql\Query\BuilderMatch.php (MINIMAL_CHARACTER_LENGTH)

Make sure the MySQL variable(ft_min_word_len=2) set as you want to search.

I hope this hot fix will help.
