normalize custom tags #37

Closed ptitzler closed 7 years ago

ptitzler commented 7 years ago

One general challenge when using tags is that different users might use variations of the same tag name, which makes analysis much more difficult. For example, a question might be tagged with Java, java, Java_ (note the trailing space) or Java8. Case insensitive auto-suggestions combined with basic string normalization should reduce the likelihood of ending up with too many semantically identical tags.

custom tags have been updated (see pr #41)

trimmed
lowercased
replaced whitespace hyphen
remove empty tag strings
remove duplicate tags (in the same question)

@ptitzler regarding case-insensitive auto suggestion, can you clarify? do you mean having an autocomplete input field (for the custom tags) and using all existing/known tags (or custom tags) across all available questions to feed the autocomplete suggestions?
