<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-git.js"></script>

<style type="text/css">
    button {
    display: block;
    margin: 20px 0 0 0;
 }   
</head>      
<body>

var minLength = $( "#autocomplete" ).autocomplete( "option", "minLength" );
 
$( "#autocomplete" ).autocomplete( "option", "minLength", 2 );
