| Summary | 0003687: Searchbar: disable auto-complete or don't restrict search results based on auto-complete suggestion | ||||
| Description | - click in the quicksearch box. - type "there you go" - clear the search box - type in the search box "the" it will autocomplete to use "there you go" and that is what the search results would be for. very frustrating if you want to search a shorter word compared to a previous search. Solution: searching should have autocomplete turned off. Dale. | ||||

I can see why this could be annoying, but I think that it's still valuable in most cases, and that it's easy for the user to delete the 'guessed' portion of the search term. The correct solution would be to implement something similar to what is in the Firefox search bar. i.e. Typing 'the' would yield a list of 'relevant' options as a dropdown. note: this approach should be used for auto-complete in the Properties dialog as well. |

Autocomplete is off in the search box in 3.1.1194. |

Re-opening this issue for clarification and possible fix. As pointed out at 0005182 and http://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=35975&p=185379#p185379 , the issue originally reported here still isn't fixed e.g. -Type Love Bites in Searchbar -Type Love in Searchbar -->Love_Bites_ is auto-completed -->Tracklist shows only a single track: Love Bites instead of 300 tracks with the word 'Love' in it. What should happen is that the portion of the search term that has been auto-completed should not be used as the Search term _unless_ the user has accepted it. Note: to re-iterate and clarify my comment 0011087: Disabling of auto-complete is an improvement, but the real solution would be fix auto-complete so that: -the issue described above is fixed (most urgent) -the autocomplete results are based on library contents rather than on an MRU (future-nice to have) -the autocomplete results are presented as a dropdown so that: a) users can see available options b) the UI for _accepting_ an auto-complete suggestion is more clear |

I was checking this in Firefox search bar with the Google search. It presents the previous users searches that match first, then a separator and the Google suggestions in a drop down. |

Petr, can we easily implement similar kind of suggestions as we have for Artists, Albums, etc.? |
|
|
Fixed in 1216. Disabled auto-complete and enabled suggestion list. |
