Alyona Su Posted January 6, 2020 Share Posted January 6, 2020 (edited) Are you sure the auto-fill (auto-suggest) didn't replace your search term? That happens when I type a search term and slap the ENTER key too quickly. It is more likely user-error than website-error. Just saying.

Unfortunately, as annoying and useless as that horrible autofill function is, some Lindens are in love with it so there's not much chance we'll ever get rid of it. It's a textbook example of cargo cult programming. Real autofill functions in proper search engines are based on what people commonly search for and - whenever possible - what you have searched for before. The MP imitation just does a quick lookup for listing titles and list them with the oldest first. Edited January 6, 2020 by ChinRey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because I hate when it does the search on one of those, rather than what I've typed in. Our "tax" dollars at work, I suppose. ~snorts~ Edited January 6, 2020 by Alyona Su 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always use ublock or adblock in your browser (in fact - you should, and not just for MP) and manually block it. " marketplace.secondlife.com##.ui-corner-all.ui-widget-content.ui-widget.ui-menu.ui-autocomplete " should get rid of suggestions (and autocomplete with it) completely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
