If you use the MySQL Full text search method, then you can only change this by editing the MySQL config. If your host does not want to make changes, then you are out of options if you want to use the Full Text search.

Yes with the vBulletin internal searchtype you can set the minimum word-lenght without the need to edit MySQL configuration.
