For autocomplete, what about sticking with a department/team/issue format: e.g., Discovery-Search-BadWeight.. or they could all get a personal "_Tag" prefix: _Tag-dcausse-search-badweight. That's super unwieldy, but avoids autocomplete collisions for everything else.

Autocomplete is per-word, so that sample would come up for dc, sea, bad, etc. For example, typing "back" in the upper-right search bar brings up all the xxx-backlog projects.

However, it sounds like we could consider ignoring the "no tracking tasks" directive, at least within Discovery. (Now I am advocating going against the advice given since no one seems to be advocating for it.)

As long as you don't call it a tracking task, I doubt anyone would even notice in order to complain. If it seems like it would solve the issue, I would support that. The whole "no tracking tasks" rule seemed to be a reaction (or over-reaction?) to something going on in bugzilla, so until we see actual problems in phab, I'm in favor of reasonable experimentation.
