I unfortunately don't have a screenshot link handy cause I'm on mobile. But, we have the ability to check with the user whether they want to make a new tag or if they made a typo or if they want to search for an existing one instead. | |

What I'm proposing works for typing tags at speed and not waiting on autocomplete. What you're pointing out in existing features does not. | |
| Jul 26, 2014 at 14:02 | comment | added | Christos Hayward | One side note about your example, which I find is significant because it is your own, cherry-picked example for why my proposed feature is not needed: what you gave doesn't demonstrate that new-tag doesn't exist yet; I cannot tell from the screenshot whether new-tag doesn't match anything (though the new-tags-page result has information scent), or whether new-tag is below the fold on matches for new-* tags. All your example shows is that new-tag is below the fold for new-* matches, not that it is not anywhere. Now you can get a more definite "No" if the "above the fold" must be all there is... | |
| Jul 26, 2014 at 13:53 | comment | added | Christos Hayward | Yes, I was aware of that, but sometimes I type without waiting for autocomplete. I do not see how to distinguish between autocomplete not loading yet because with network conditions it's slower than my typing, and autocomplete not loading yet because it will never load. What you mention works if you slow down and wait for the autocomplete to load (or wait long enough that it probably will not ever load). What I propose works for typing at speed which does not wait for autocomplete. | |
