Load search suggestion for strings typed before initializing JavaScript
Open, LowPublic

Description

Steps to reproduce

  • Load https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Special:Search with a slow internet connection.
  • Start typing a few characters into the big search field as soon as the search field is visible.
  • Wait until the JavaScript is loaded and initialized.
  • Current behavior: You have to enter a further character. Then the search suggestions gets loaded and the search suggestions box are shown.
  • Expected behavior: The search suggestion engine loads the search suggestions of the already typed characters on initializing the JavaScript. The search suggestion box gets shown automatically as soon as the JavaScript and the search suggestions are loaded.

For module jquery.suggestions for the small search field this was implemented in T223422.

Closing out low/est priority tasks over 6 months old with no activity within last 6 months in order to clean out the backlog of tickets we will not be addressing in the near term. Please feel free to reopen if you think a ticket is important, but bare in mind that given current priorities and resourcing, it is unlikely for the Search team to pick up these tasks for the indefinite future. We hope that the requested changes have either been addressed by or made irrelevant by work the team has done or is doing -- e.g. upgrading Elasticsearch to a newer version will solve various ES-related problems -- or will be subsumed by future work in a more generalized way.
