You cannot do this with the default Search component without modifying the search plugin database query. This is considered a core hack, therefore not recommended.
Instead I'd suggest using Smart Search:
Go to Plugins >> Smart Search, then enable it.
Go to Modules >> Smart Search. Enable and assign to a page.

Look for methods called set<PROPERTY>Callback on the same API documentation you linked. E.g. to override the lower limit use Joomla\CMS\Language\Language::setLowerLimitSearchWordCallback().

Override/Change the return values of the getIgnoredSearchWords() and getLowerLimitSearchWord() in /language/en-GB/en-GB.localise.php (and any other /language/<lang>/<lang>.localise.php file of active languages).

That's a valid question in terms of questioning where the string is split and how someone could adjust the length of the article text in the search results. The solution is fairly simple at the end.
