What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

  I love the purple button, but using the mentions sytem in it is less than ideal.   Specifically if I am trying to mention an article with a short title that is simaliar to many other items titles it does not appear on the list of suggestions. This is also compounded because the editor does not count and underscore as a space, so you can't type an articles name that has multiple words in the title. Finally, I belive the purple button does no shearch tags as well.   This means that thier are some articles that are impossible to mention using the purple button.  

How does this feature request address the current situation?

  I would love the mentions system to work how it does when you are using the mentions system when writing an article on the main screen. At the very least, It would be great in the mentions sytem in the purple button, had a scroll bar or away to look up articles with multiple word titles. That way every article could be able to be mentioned.

The Team's Response

The mention system begins searching on 3 characters. It will not begin searches on anything under it and this will not be changed.
  • You can used tags in order to search for articles that have small titles but you still want to search for.
