Thanks Kevin!
yes you're right it's a missing feature, prefix search run a specific query to find the exact match. I'll try to add it.

Thanks David! That page is awesome for anecdotal testing.
I notice that a search for IOL (or iol) would also benefit from prioritizing an exact match. The prefix autocomplete brings up IOL near the bottom, but the suggester misses it entirely. Same for XP, CPU, etc.

We have been working on a replacement autocompletion API that is more forgiving than a strict prefix search. The scoring algorithm's have a long way to go but we have the first run through of building the completion index for enwiki so i thought i would share: Here are a couple examples, feel free to change the text= around to other things. http://cirrus-browser-bot.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=cirrus-suggest&limit=100&text=white%20house http://cirrus-browser-bot.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=cirrus-suggest&limit=100&text=hotel%20cal http://cirrus-browser-bot.wmflabs.org/w/api.php?action=cirrus-suggest&limit=100&text=wikim Don't stress out too much over the scoring yet, we know it needs some work and have plans to integrate page view information in here to help more popular articles rise the the top.
