Filtering issues only team members autocomplete

Title changed from Filtering issues only team members show up to Filtering issues only team members autocomplete

this is correct behaviour not? @grzesiek

Could we improve here by letting users know about this behaviour, that it is to be expected?

Added ~65372 label

mentioned in issue gitlab-foss#21747 (closed)

@dimitrieh It is correct behavior for now, but we may want to add feature that allows to load more uses to a dropdown (or something similar, with better usability).

@grzesiek thanks for letting me know. I believe I asked this issue myself once. Therefor I would like to reopen this issue @markglenfletcher

This is an issue for public projects like gitlab-ce. So before we get in new functionality I would like to update the feedback on the current behaviour from:

to:

Also for "assignee"

cc: @awhildy (think we can get this to front end)

@dimitrieh: Just so I understand, is the proposal to change the hint text on the search input field from 'Search authors' to 'Search authors (only members)'? Would it make sense to be more simple, and just have the hint text say 'Search members'? Thanks!

@awhildy yep, as an way of offering better feedback to the user as this functionality is the way it is now (being limited) because of performance issues (imagine the system has to scour through all people that ever contributed to gitlab-ce)

Would it make sense to be more simple, and just have the hint text say 'Search members'? Thanks!

I agree it would be nice to have that sentence simplified.. mmh maybe it still could... although I think I prefer it to be: "Search authors (members)", as authors is then still referenced in the hint text.. I think I would be fine with either.. the feedback is most important
