make select2 dropdown only drop down after at least one letter is typed

I have a form input with which I am using select2 to use tag/dropdown menu. It has an id of tag_list and use this jquery:

$('#tag_list').select2({
    placeholder: 'a short description of what this content explains',
    tags: true
});

Right now what happens is when the user clicks on the input box, which causes a cursor to appear at the beginning of the box, a dropdown menu appears with all of the created tags. The user can type and the dropdown will filter results based on what the user types, or the user can create a new tag.

I want to know: can I make it so that the dropdown menu appears only after at least one (or n) letters have been typed?

you can do it by passing minimumInputLength with number you want.

$('#tag_list').select2({
    placeholder: 'a short description of what this content explains',
    minimumInputLength: 2,
    tags: true
});

checkout example here.
