@pluralistic I wouldn’t be at all surprised if the search has been optimised to look for the name rather than the code. So it might not be enshitification but in fact really poor UX and not testing things before you release them.
@francis @pluralistic almost definitely this. I don't manage this autocomplete, but one extremely similar and had a similar bug. Basically fields displayed don't mean fields searched.
