Ignore Prefix in Hyperlink search screen

Unread post by Aitch »

I use Topic ID prefix with all my projects (always thinking ahead - for the day I have to merge projects).

I have a lot of hyperlinks / topic links in my project. It's not a major issue, but it will be really nice to be able to have a free text search when searching for a topic.
eg. Topic ID Prefix is MENU_
and the topic I want to link to is MENU_Description

When I want to link, the default place is always the bottom of the list and I have to scroll up to find this topic. If the system can ignore prefix and I only need to type DES, with available matches showing, it will be a great help.

Yes, it will probably only save about 3 seconds per hyperlink, but for projects with a lot of topics, it can make a big difference.

Just a thought :)
