it isn't hard coded in krunner or Plama::RunnerManager. this is something each
Runner plugin decides on for itself. for plugins where fewer letters actually
stand the chance of returning anything even moderately useful, they do return
results for fewer charaters. the only thing achieved by returning hundreds (or
thousands) of useless possible matches on the first keystroke is to waste cpu
and slow down the time needed until the next set of matches appears.
try it for yourself, though; it's usually a "if (query.length() < 3) { return;
}" type statement in the match() method of the runners, which are in
kdebase/workspace/plasma/generic/runners and kdeplasma-addons/runners
