Summary

User Story

As an end user
When I am viewing a page with a transcript
And when I type a partial word into the transcript search box, such as "aux"
Then the transcript viewer will scroll to instances of "aux" even if it's at the beginning a word, such as "auxilliary"
In order avoid the false negative feedback of typing "aux" and getting no response even though "aux" is in the transcript
and in order to adhere to expected Cmd+F behavior

Background

  • Every browser has a Cmd+F feature, and in the case of Chrome at least, it works in a more expected way than the Transcript viewer's search box.
  • The transcript viewer search box has the advantage of only searching the transcript and not getting confused with other content on the page.
  • But IMO, the false negative of getting 0 hits when searching a partial word that is actually in the transcript is worse than any false positives you get from browser's Cmd+F that finds words outside of the transcript.

Done when

Above user story is true.

lol.. just reaffirmed that this is annoying by trying to search partial word in the transcript and getting really confused as to why it wasn't being found. then i recalled that maybe this ticket existed 😆
