--- Comment #39 from Nate Graham <[email protected]> ---
That's everything. Now only two runners have a minimum character count before
returning any results:
1. Calculator, since you can't have a mathematical expression with only one
character.
2. Baloo/file search, since these queries are a bit heavy and a search through
all your files for a single Latin character will definitely not return any sane
results.

So with these changes, you'll now see most search results start to appear after
the first character typed, and then files will start to appear after the second
one.

This doesn't *perfectly* fix the bug in that one runner's worth of
non-mathematical results will still appear later. However it's only two
characters. I doubt anyone is really getting good results from one-character
file searches anyway, at least with Latin languages.

On that subject, a further enhancement I plan to work on is to make the
universal minimum character count 2 for Latin characters and 1 for CJK
languages, since their characters are more information-dense, so a single
character search makes sense. This will make all runners behave consistently
and start returning the same set of results at the same time (except for
Calculator when using CJK languages for other things, where it doesn't
mathematically make sense to do anything for a single character).
