autocomplete-search-is-robust

Status: IN

Autocomplete provides consistent, normalized search through boundary normalization (lowercasing, length truncation) and eagerly-rebuilt top-k caches, but fuzzy matching is limited to single-character edits on the last character only — meaning most mid-word typos produce zero results despite the system's otherwise thorough input handling.

Justifications

Normalization and cache consistency ensure exact-prefix queries are always correct, but the fuzzy fallback's last-char-only limitation undermines recall for realistic typo patterns

Depends on (SL): normalize-once-at-system-boundary, autocomplete-cache-consistency

Unless: autocomplete-fuzzy-is-last-char-only
