So, when a user search for something that cannot be autocompleted (for a text in the bio, for example), and where no synonym can be found, the search engine should perform a normal search. If a user searches for a name with only one result, the user [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=694660 '''will be directed straight to that specific profile page'''], rather than a search result page. When there are between 2 or more search results, we should display all individual results much like Mozilla's current paid-staff phonebook. | So, when a user search for something that cannot be autocompleted (for a text in the bio, for example), and where no synonym can be found, the search engine should perform a normal search.

There is a limit on the number of full individual results we can display on the search result page before it feels slow and heavy-handed (all those bios!) We know that it is a number between 2 and around 15, but we’d need to research and look into best practices to determine the ideal number. | |||
To summarize, this is what would happen when your search query returns a certain number of results: | |||
* 1 — go directly to the user’s profile page | |||
* 2 to <15 — display full individual results on the search result page | |||
* >15 — display abbreviated results, the way we do it today | |||
