That is a function of the queries the match provider runs:

                        SELECT DISTINCT ON (component)
                                pk_component,
                                (substance || ' ' || amount || unit || ' ' || 
preparation || ' (' || brand ||  ')')
                                        AS component
                        FROM ref.v_drug_components
                        WHERE
                                substance %(fragment_condition)s
                                        OR
                                brand %(fragment_condition)s
                        ORDER BY component
                        LIMIT 50

Yes, that is how it's configured:

        mp.setThresholds(2, 3, 4)

And that's one of the original ideas of Richard. Note, that
already with 2 characters it would/should match at the
beginning of a phrase (in the above query: "substance" or
"brand").

"me" really should already match.

That's right.

Unfortunately, there isn't, really.
