TYPO3 Core

If you search in the suggest-wizard (i.e. to select a page for shortcuts) it stops searching once the result was empty.

1. You search for "12" and the result is empty (because there is no page with this title and also none with this uid)
2. After that you type "3" and you expect to search now for "123" (this page uid exists) but no search is invoked now.

Reason is the option "preventBadQueries" in jquery.autocomplete which is by default activated.

• switch off that option for all suggest-inputs in "typo3/sysext/backend/Resources/Public/JavaScript/FormEngineSuggest.js"
• or make it configurable

As a proof, I switched it off in my js-console with

TYPO3.jQuery('.t3-form-suggest').autocomplete().setOptions({preventBadQueries:false});

and this solves the problem.
