fix disabling browser autcompletion from history#1545
Conversation

Could we get a screenshot maybe of the problem? Like an example of how auto complete is frustrating? I don't have strong reason to believe auto complete is helpful, I just want to see what the problem is |
It's basically "saved info" autofill from the browser. It can certainly be a non issue but I find it annoying. autocomplete="off" is a standard way to suppress browser history/autofill suggestions in that field. |

Oh like saved info from other sites, not prior searches in this field?
Yes, am aware, no dispute on the method, just looking to document the problem that is being solved. |
Yeah :) I did a deeper dive into this, it seems like it differs between browsers. I've given it a go on non-cached browser states on different browsers and issue stays on Edge. Can you test this on a fresh browser session as well? |

There was a problem hiding this comment.
can confirm that i am just getting autocomplete values from any search bar in my browser's history. Could be possible to make that autofill prior searches for just that field by giving it a name or id, but no autofill is probably better than "autofill from anything i have ever typed in an input field"
thanks for looking into it, I agree with you. |

What
Disable browser autocomplete/past searches on the papers search input.
Why
Browser history suggestions interferes and make search frustrating for users (e.g., when searching by author or tag and other things are popping up).
