If I’m writing a post in a category where only some users have access, the mention search (@username) should list users with access to the category first.
I would go as far that it should prioritize more active members too, when a full match happens anywhere.
Eg:
Typing @arpit and none of the options contain @techAPJ, while showing users that doesn’t visit in years, have zero posts, etc.
Maybe the expectation that you can type real name and get decent results is just an unrealistic one? You have to at least match part of the username for this to work, e.g. techapj versus arpit
I dunno @falco I have very mixed feelings about this… you’re basically saying that real name matches should have high priority. Is there any reason you couldn’t remember it was techapj and not arpit?
