@railla this behavior still exists from

Here is a screencast of searching "Pose Library Addon"

My suggestion is to completely get rid of Autocomplete. It makes the site's Search unusable and is not of great value.

Interesting, I didn't notice this one because I mainly use Firefox which doesn't attempt to autocomplete inputs like this, so this must be either Chrome or Safari (I was able to reproduce this in Chromium).

@KevinCBurke autocomplete should now be disabled in the search, thank you for reporting!

@railla Thanks for the update. This is still happening though. In this screencast, I am slowly typing "rigify" (no backspaces), however, the autocomplete is removing a character with every refresh after I get to "rigi":

There doesn't seem to be a good solution for this other than not having search refining on each keystroke (currently it is throttled but this doesn't solve the issue). It might be better to just have a search button and update search results when it's clicked and on Enter/change of focus.
