Re: [Semediawiki-user] [SF] Feature when autocomplete searches substring in page property

[Yaron K. <ya...@wi...>]

Hi,

Well, it might be that having an extensible autocompletion system is the
way to go, but I don't think it's relevant to this case: I just don't see
"autocomplete on value A, but value B shows up in the page" as being
feasible - there are too many things that can go wrong, especially if the
set of possible values changes between one edit and the next. For a case
like the one Ilmārs described, I really think a popup search form is the
right solution.
