This can be modified in viewerfiles\ajaxmappane.templ on line 307; since  
minScale is a global JavaScript variable it may be possible to override  
this value in your search code. I haven't yet tried to somehow inject it  
through Studio, the next time I have to touch that application I may give  
it a try.
