LOL, just discovered that undefined.eth breaks the autocomplete on app.ens.domains

Oh man, this would make a good interview question for a frontend dev.

A combobox input refuses to return autocomplete suggestions when the input text is "undefined". What could cause this?

Could names without a period entered in the input be updated upon input submission to have a visual hidden period at the end, which is what’s checked against available domains? To the user they see “undefined” but the search is looking for domains containing “undefined.”?

Shoot, I meant as a solution to the issue, would what I suggested work..? 😅 I didn’t mean to say that strategy is what I think ENS is currently doing. I’m still guessing at that.

A reasonable guess as to how the autocomplete works, but it wouldn’t explain why it fails for this edge case.
