"Find-As-You-Type" Feature - Where is it advertised?
I just inadvertently utilized Zotero's "Find-As-You-Type" search feature, not knowing that such a (useful) thing existed. I only now know what it's called because I googled a description of how I stumbled across it in Zotero and found this: https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/comment/406831#Comment_406831
Zotero advertises a "Search-As-You-Type" feature (https://www.zotero.org/support/searching) but where is the official documentation on "Find-As-You-Type"? (p.s. the similar branding of these different features is problematic).

dstillmanThere's no "branding" here. "Find-as-you-type" is just one of various technical terms for this sort of functionality. That specific phrase might come from Mozilla (and Netscape before that) for searching a webpage for text without invoking the find bar, but it's just standard functionality in most lists, drop-downs, menus, etc. (One could actually debate whether this is an example of FAYT or just keyboard navigation of user interfaces, but close enough.)
