 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    node system
 Category:     tasks
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  Bèr Kessels
 Reported by:  Bèr Kessels
 Updated by:   Bèr Kessels
 Status:       patch

from the top of my head:
* a search.
* the book-parent selector
* clipper.module (node-node relations)
* anywhere else where you need to select a single node. 


About the types: I thought about that for a few seconds, but thought
it:
* OTT. this works perfectly fine. Whenever the need for a type
subselector appears, it can still be added.
* userunfriendly. users should not have to bother about node types.


So, it was intentional that I left out types. 


Oh, And i am aware of any restrictions when there are a /lot/ of nodes.
youwill get a lot of nodes with similar titles. But that is a general
problem, which occurs in freetagging and user autofill just the same.

This patch introduces an autofill for node titles.
It is not yet used anywhere, but at least we have the node/autofill url
available where contribs &c can query for node titles.

How do you see this being used?


I wonder if developers will want further restrictions on returned nodes
like type=x, for example.
