Not all tags showing up when searching for a tag

When you try and filter by tags, it does not get all the tags that meet the search. For example, start typing "cro" under the TAGS filter box and you get an incomplete list of tags that start with "cro". If you go to the top of the screen and search for "crochet" you get steemit links that use the "crochet-patterns" tag. For the filter to be useful it must get all the tags that meet the filter string. The problem is not in the dash, because "cr" tag filter brings up "crypto-news".

Yep. This was reported a month ago with no reply : https://steemit.com/steem-ideas/@tuck-fheman/filter-for-topics =/

Actually this is a different manifestation of probably the same bug. The "crochet-patterns" tag has existed for weeks. It is not a daily update that is keeping the filter from working. It is important to show how to find the bug, rather than a general description so the programmers can be encouraged to fix it. Vote this up so maybe it will rise to the level of it getting fixed. This is obviously annoying both of us. And it hurts the usability of the site because you cannot find the right tags. This will lead to essentially duplicate tags being created.

Heh, actually my original post was almost identical to yours, then I edited it later that day thinking it was due to a refresh issue and then just left it and forgot about it until your post; because I believe most of us just started finding those topics manually by entering /active/my-topic in the URL.

Another issue that some of the users who have been here for a while are experiencing is watching their bug reports go unchecked for weeks/months while someone later reports the same thing and receives hundreds of dollars. It happens a lot and some of us are trying to get the original bug reporters the credit they deserve by pointing it out when it happens. ;)
