Search trigger with just two characters

The search trigger across Canvas should work with just two characters and not require three. Some names (like Xi) only have two characters, and this would make the people search more efficient if just two characters were required to activate the search trigger. A two-character trigger would also help when searching courses, whether the term designator has two characters or of the course names include the instructor's name.
