What (summary)
While a user is entering a search query, we should suggest various articles that would be a natural completion of what they have already typed. To avoid suggesting articles that are too generic, we may wish not to suggest anything until the second or third character is entered.
Why this is important
- Make site easier to use
- Help users figure out what articles already exist and thereby increase the opportunity for collaboration
- Reduce article duplicates
DoneDone
When we are confident that all articles that can be suggested are being suggested and that the suggestions are proffered to the user in a reasonable amount of time.
