pony_(hairstyle) -> ponytail

Posted under Tags

The problem is likely due to the new autocomplete system prioritising exact matches over the most common term. Previously, if you typed pony it would autocomplete to ponytail, since that tag was largest. Now it autocompletes to pony instead. It also happened to tags like cow -> cowboy shot, photoshop (medium) -> medium breasts, etc. I don't think an alias would help as it would still prioritise the exact match.

Might still help to some degree, but if that's what's happening, then I guess I'll just have to sift through it every few weeks/months.
