Just to tack on, I cannot understand autocomplete results that do this:
Search: abc
Results: abcdef, abcxyz
Then I type d
Results: abcxyz
How did typing more of the top result make it less likely I wanted the top result?
- stouset 6y agoEven worse: not considering exact matches when autocompleting. I’m looking at you, JIRA. My name is Stephen. My username in my company JIRA is `stephen`. It is simply not possible for coworkers to reference my own name in many fields due to autocomplete behavior. Every other employee named Stephen (or user with `stephen` prefixing their username) is presented, but mine is unavailable.
- IanCal 6y agoOh absolutely. I'd also add in that if I type "jor" then your autocomplete shouldn't say "nobody by that name, there's a jörgen but they clearly can't be talking about them so I won't return that at all".
