Autocomplete group names that contains key
Review Request #8585 — Created Jan. 1, 2017 and discarded — Latest diff uploaded
When you have a lot of groups that share a common prefix (e.g. Team_...) it is useful to be able to autocomplete group names without having to type the common prefix. Add a webapi feature that needs to be enabled for the extended search to be enabled. This to avoid problems on installation where enabling contains searches may affect performance too much. Add a new parameter `contains` to /api/groups/ that, when set, changes the filtering from "istartswith" to "icontains" and thus matches the key anywhere in the name (or display name if displayname=1). Change the review request editor view to set this contains=1 in the request and matchContains option on the autocomplete widget to make it all work.
New unit tests passes.
Manual tested that it is possible to autocomplete names without typing the prefix.
Documentation looks ok.
