When selecting a project, the list will only show five matching projects. Why is this limitation? Why not twenty or all?
Topic on Talk:Phabricator/Help
When someone in Phabricator development decided it is 5 there probably were no people argumenting that it should be 20 (or they had no convincing arguments). :)
If you want to change the value locally in your browser:
JX.TypeaheadSource.prototype.setMaximumResultCount(20);
I see this is phab:T75737. Where should I put above JavaScript?
That won't work in all browsers. Is there a per-user file like common.js in Wikipedia?
Which specific browser does this not work with? There is no per-user file.
Most Android browsers don't have a JavaScript console. I'm using "Opera Mobile Classic" occasionally.
For such browsers I am not aware of some way to make such browsers locally show more than five projects.
put this as the URL for a bookmark:
javascript:(function(){JX.TypeaheadSource.prototype.setMaximumResultCount(20)})()
and then visit that bookmark when you want to use the higher limit. (and you can substitute other values in place of 20)
