How do i set minimum query length in Examine?

Using Umbraco And Getting Started

Umbraco 9
How do i set min query length in examine? I have tried setting it in appsettings like this:
```
"Examine": {
    "LuceneDirectoryFactory": "SyncedTempFileSystemDirectoryFactory",
    "IndexSets": {
      "ExternalIndex": {
        "MinQueryStringLength": 2
      }
    }
  }
```
Im using Umbraco version 11.2.0

Hi Adam,

Can you tell me what you are trying to achieve. I don't think a MinQueryStringLength config option existed for examine.

We noticed we didnt get any hits when we searched with less characters than 3. But it might have been another problem.

Thanks anyways!

I could only search on 4 characters or more before I added a wildcard, then 3 characters worked.
```
 .ManagedQuery($"{query}*")
```
I can see in the Examine.Lucine-source that queries are generated in different ways depending on how long the query is, but cannot see why searching on 2 characters doesn't work.

Is there anyway to get around this issue and be able to search on two characters?

Cheers :-)
