Offer input completion in webapp #2

Open andreas-bulling opened 2 months ago

andreas-bulling commented 2 months ago

The webapp is a nice idea but if one has no idea how a particular pv module or inverter is called, i.e. how they are saved in the database (naming convention), and there are more than 100 results, one is stuck forever.

For example, if I type in "Trina" it reports 1400+ results but doesn't show any particular ones.

But how am I supposed to now find my particular model? How should I know what to type in additionally to reduce the size of the list if I have no idea about the naming conventions?

One potential solution could be that the webapp shows input completion options (similar to Google). This way one can find the right search string exploratively.

Ok, we will need to find a way to do this. No clue for now but open to ideas
