Autocomplete...

Should we make aliases for the top missed searches from the overwatch series? It seems like autocomplete would prevent this sort of thing, so maybe they're blocking scripts on Danbooru?

If they're blocking scripts in the first place, then they shouldn't be so lazy as to not type out the whole word in the first place. Even if they aren't, we shouldn't be doing something for them that can be easily fixed by themselves.

Blocking scripts is not that common and those who do should usually know what they're doing. More likely people just think pressing enter will accept the autocompletion.

I thought this until just a few months ago.

A little dinky "Tab for Autocomplete" under the search box probably wouldn't be a horrible thing. Most people probably search for posts before they do other things with the feature (i.e. edit tags).

What surprises me is that there are over 200 total "overw*" missed searches in the past week. I wonder if there are that many people unfamiliar with autocomplete or if they are using some third-party way to search for things and it's being buggy.
