We have a collection of related projects:
Search-and-Discovery
Search-and-Discovery-Cirrus-Sprint
Search-and-Discovery-OpenStreetMap-Sprint
...etc.
When typing into the Search bar at the top of phab, things work reasonably. Typing "Discovery", for example, lists about 7 projects, and one of them is Search-and-Discovery.
However, when typing into the Projects field, such as when creating a task, entering "Discovery" only lists 5 projects. That is a known issue, and wouldn't be a problem, except that it lists all the Sprint projects, and not the main Search-and-Discovery. I tried renaming it to Search-and-Discovery-Department, hoping that it would be sorted alphabetically near the top, and thus be in 5 that are shown. Sadly, that did not work.
The auto-complete rule really should be: If there is an exact matchFixing T76732 (Exact matches should win) would improve the situation slightly, but would not fix it. In this case, puhaving to type "Search-and-Discovery" before it would hit that firste exact match is silly. Then list partial matches alphabeticallyThere should be a way to just type "Sear" or "Discov" and have the main project in the short list of 5.
If that's not possible for some reasonphabricator uses a known rule to pick which 5 projects are shown, such as "first 5 alphabetically", then we can name our projects to get the results we want. Without that, we will have to set up weird hashtag aliases, and then a pure alphabetical sort would at least allow this case to workenter strings not related to the actual project names, via delicate project namingin order to autocomplete quickly.
This is a pretty big deal, because right now it is VERY difficult to add tasks to the main Search-and-Discovery project. If it can't be fixed quickly(I reopened this because I do not believe it is a duplicate of T76732, I'lland I have to rename all the sprint projects.
updated this description to clarify that.)
