Description

Increasing Access

Unsure

Most appropriate sub-area of p5.js?

Reference

Feature request details

On the old site, I found it extremely useful to have a suggestions dropdown when searching for the reference page of a specific object or function.

Currently, when I type in the search field, I don't get suggestions for the function I'm looking for. I have to enter my search keyword, press Enter, and then check if the function I'm looking for even exists. (Currently, it's additionally hard to find the exact reference page using the search field, since not all expected results are shown, as mentioned in #458)

Research direction

Start at the site's search field entry point and review the related search-results concern in #458. Done means that typing a reference object or function displays useful suggestions before the user presses Enter.
