Changing Search minimum number of terms

I am customizing Alfresco Share 5.0.d and I would like to make the minimum number of search terms 0 in all places where there is a search.

I found the solution in an old forum topic, which is to add the following code to share-config-custom.xml:

<!–
       Overridden Search config entries to:
          - remove minimum search term length for all searches.
    –>
   <config evaluator="string-compare" condition="Search" replace="true">
      <search>
         <!– default minimum length for search terms –>
         <min-search-term-length>0</min-search-term-length>
         <!– default maximum number of results for a search –>
         <max-search-results>250</max-search-results>
      </search>
   </config>

   <!–
       Overridden form-config.xml entries to:
          - remove minimum search term length for people searches.
    –>
   <config>
      <forms>
         <default-controls>
            <!– WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/site-webscripts/org/… –>
            <type name="association:cm:person" template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/authority.ftl">
               <control-param name="minSearchTermLength">0</control-param>
            </type>
            <type name="association:cm:authority" template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/authority.ftl">
               <control-param name="minSearchTermLength">0</control-param>
            </type>
            <type name="association:cm:authorityContainer" template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/authority.ftl">
               <control-param name="minSearchTermLength">0</control-param>
            </type>
         </default-controls>
      </forms>
   </config>

This works perfectly.

However, there is one more place where there is a minimum number of search terms: Manage Permissions (of a document or folder) -> Add User/Group -> Search. The minimum number of search terms here is 3.

How can I configure this to be 0? My last resort will be to change the file authority-finder.get.js, but I know it is not recommended to edit JavaScript files.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Although this customization successfully changes the minimum number of search terms to 0, it actually breaks the Search functionality. Now when I search for anything in the Main Search, I always get "0 results found" (no matter what I search for).

When I revert back to the original configuration, the Search works again.

How can I change the minimum number of search terms to 0 without breaking the Search functionality?

Thanks
