do not sent api requests for empty inputs, e.g. after a character input followed by a backspace in the search input. Make sure to clear the result div to wipe previous results at the client w/o sending a request. Lowers server load Comment: that was too quickly removed. I am very disappointed, that this innovative change was removed so quickly without polling the developers. I accept your view, sleep over it. You dropped a chance of Wikipedia introducing a smart feature seldom seen elsewhere. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
