Peeringdb: Add IXP to AS record / dropdown limited

[tvberlin]

Dear PeeringDB team,

when adding the N-IX IXP (ix/135) to our ASN record (net/13902), the dropdown box for selecting the IXP seems to be limited to a certain number of records. Selecting the N-IX is not possible, work-around was searching by the long name (thanks Arnold).

Best regards,
Theo

What's the preferred solution here - more entries, or always include the exact match? Something else?

[arnoldnipper]

Would ^pattern and all entries make the most sense?

[tvberlin]

@arnoldnipper @vegu don't know if this scales, but keeping the full-text search while displaying more (all) entries would be good as it's a valid use case to search within a string and not only starting from the beginning.

[arnoldnipper]

Would order the results help?

[grizz]

I think displaying all entries, and preferring (top of the list) ^pattern is the way to go.

@peeringdb/pc thoughts?

+1 for @grizz's last proposal.

+1. To nitpick, I would put == $pattern first, then /^$pattern/, then /$pattern/ but I don't think it'll functionally be any different, so let's just do that

Definitely, good catch.
