My answer to "Search AutoComplete Behavior Broken?, Inconsistant with Code Comments"

This is my answer to a Question on Support site for LampCMS project


OK, I just looked at the javascript in qa.js again and it looks like it's not a bug
The behavior that you described (in the comments) applies only to autocomplete in the "title" of the questions form.
When you asking a new questions there is another auto-complete form that searches for similar questions as you typing the title of your question. That autocomplete will take you to the question when you click on one of the suggested results.

The search form's autocomplete just enters the suggested results into the search form. It was always working like that, it's not a bug.

There is a third autocomplete - for the tags form on the "ask question" form. That one inserts suggested tags into the tags field.
