FR: disable autocomplete for search input


Recommended Posts

Posted (edited)

This one has been bugging me but I kept forgetting to make an FR. On any web client, the search input has "autocomplete" enabled, resulting in an annoying popup that also suggests the wildest things

I can't remember searching for my own username, there's that.
Regardless: there is already an autocomplete provided by Emby itself so the two also overlap:

This can be fixed by adding the autocomplete attribute (autocomplete="off") to the search input.

<input
    is="emby-input"
    type="search"
    labelclass="navDrawerSearchFieldContainer-label"
    label="" placeholder="Search"
    title="Search"
    data-autocompleteitems="true"
    class="txtNavDrawerSearch emby-input emby-input-smaller"
    data-refocus="false"
    id="embyinput0"
    autocomplete="off" <!-- add this-->

@Lukelooking at app.emby.media this FR seems to be applied to the web app now, the autocomplete="off" is added within the templates. Is that correct?
