This will be a process description. So hang in there with me.

In search field you start typing in your search term. Mahalo suggestions start showing up in a drop down menu. The term shows up in suggestions at the top and IS highlighted. You hit enter. HOWEVER, only the partial term you entered is registered and you come up with a useless page. If you type in a whole word it works fine. Also, when you do arrow down to grab the first term the highlight Skips Over the first one to the second and you wanted the first so now you have to go back up.

Suggestions:
So don't highlight word in drop down unless it is going to go through (register) that way.
Force the user to arrow down to select the term.

This is from the user's point of view. Maybe it may seem minor, but for a regular user (and I believe you want regular users and researchers) or wannabe regular, this can become VERY annoying and time loss frustration. I want my searches to be seemless and uninterrupted by minor glitches that would interrupt the research thought process (which one can be 'in the zone' as well) Do you find this valuable?
