I observed a new user creating simple light automations for three hours this weekend.
Observation 3 of 7:
Problem 3: Searching for services does not find names that do not match YAML
Proposal 3: Ignore “.” “_” “:" and “ “ in searching the add service pop-up
(This problem occurred every single time the new user went to add a service because you can only remember the “.” and “:” if you are coming from YAML.)
If you search for the service “light turn on” in the add service pop-up you find nothing. You have to search for “light.turn_on”. This is a problem for new users, as they have no reason to use either . or _ in their search. The search should ignore those characters so “light turn” will find “light.turn_on” and “light.turn_off”.
