Forum:Tag autocompletion doesn't show all tags

Question

[Michael]

I just noticed that tag autocompletion doesn't seem to have all existing tags available/indexed. F.e.: if typing ncbi, ncbinow and ncbi_now should come up. Instead the completion is empty.

The auto completion as implemented today does not show all tags, only a subset of the most common ones.

The goal was to try to reduce the number of tags that people use although it is not clear how successful is/was at that.

How about common or "new", allowing for tags to "trend" when newly introduced but not yet popular?
