Auto-complete organisation name and identifier #164

Open rolfkleef opened 8 years ago

rolfkleef commented 8 years ago

Inspired by #163, and to help with finding organisation identifiers: it would be great if AidStream could offer an auto-completion or lookup feature for organisation names.

What I envision:

The system-wide lookup list might be somewhat curated, or pre-populated.

There also might be a feature to check organisation names in your data at any point, to see if you could enrich or update existing data. Maybe like the "check duplicates" in Google Contacts: you see something in one of your activities and possible matches, and get to decide whether you want to update your information.

That feature would maybe be a different scenario to accomplish global changes of organisation identifiers as sketched in #163. The general lookup feature would improve data quality and ease of use when entering information.
