It says start typing to search. So i started typing and it didn't search. I really expected it to be some sort of typeahead search without requiring focus on the the search field :)

Query autocomplete is on the roadmap :)
The odd thing to me was not missing autocomplete, it was that it says "start typing to search", but when you type, nothing happens. This is of course because the search field is not focused when you load the page, until you click it. It should maybe be "type here to search".
That shit drives me absolutely crazy when the one thing a user wants to do is interact with a search field, but the page doesn't choose to put focus on the input
Ah, I see what you mean. We'll look into focusing the search field or changing the text to be less ambiguous.
