766134 - Allow for autocomplete in search field

Status: NEW

Attachment: autocomplete mock-up and use cases

Users are forced to see a final search results page full of different types of results (e.g. groups, locations, mozillians, etc.). Adding an autocomplete to the search field for groups, locations and mozillians will help reduce steps to finding and contacting Mozillians and possibly reduce the overall burden of searches performed.

Not sure if we want autocomplete to be inline or not?

Inline completion would make for an ideal user experience, but if it’s costly to implement, make it a P2 or to do later. Showing recommended search results is helpful by itself.
