Details

Currently the auto fill in the private messaging "To" field only shows 5 results, often too few to select the actual user. I'm not sure what exactly is the right number, but I guess we can go to 10 without an issue.

I will try 10 and see what it looks like.

Hey, you barely get on the list if we show 10 and user types "top" ;)

Verified ten names show up via auto-fill for a new PM

Maybe we can actually introduce a weighted search? With people in the "contributor" category being sorted in front of the others? Or maybe only people in the "contributor" category are suggested? Or we exclude people with less than one post. Or we sort by activity.

Hmm, either way, the current way is apparently not the best way.

Ricky, would the above suggestions even be possible with the current way we search suggestions?
