Please try out beta https://beta.raindrop.io/
Tags autocomplete hugely improved, hope it works as expected now

Rustem Mussabekov: Thanks! Will this come to the browser extensions soon? Or, is there a way to test the beta features on the browser (Firefox)?

Completely agree with the others, and to answer your question about another example app that behaves as expected I'd say Diigo. I've moved to Raindrop from Diigo, and I like Raindrop MUCH more, but there are some things--this being one of them--that I think Diigo does better.

agree. I find this also annoying with the suggested tags coming from a web page. The autocomplete should prioritize existing tags in my list and not prioritize suggestions from the web page.
See example in screenshot. I start typing 'bee' and expect when I press enter that the existing tag 'bees' should be chosen not the suggested tag 'Beehive'. If I want to use a suggested tag, I would expect to select it from the list.

That how probably any tag autocomplete works in other apps.
Could you please share an example app where you think is done better?

Rustem Mussabekov: Hi Rustem, when I tag some website I usually write the tag and press enter (I think that worked before).
Now, when I do that, it selects the first suggestion (instead of what I wrote), here's what I'm talking about: https://www.dropbox.com/s/hnrkyn6uyo603v8/raindrop.mp4?dl=0
Thanks!

Rustem Mussabekov: to be more specific : if I type the exact tag that I want (which exists in the list), this should be selected first. If my tag is "C", I'm screwed, I have to go down the list until I find the tag because the list shows every word containing "c". I always type tags from the first letter (and I doubt anyone does otherwise), so matching with a tag
containing
what I type is almost ALWAYS wrong. If I want to tag an entry with "Linux", I won't type "inux", I will type "l", then "i", then "n", and I expect the list to display existing tags beginning
with the letters I type.Mohan K Pillai
Rustem Mussabekov: I wanted to add on here. Autocomplete should ideally prioritize the word I'm typing, and give me options in the drop down for possible tags from my library. Or, at the very least, like in Gmail, allow some keyboard input to select an autocomplete suggestion.
Now, if I type in, for example, "car" (I want to save a page related to a car), and I have "car rental" as an existing tag, and I press enter after typing "car", it auto-selects "car rental". This is rather unintuitive - I'd expect that hitting enter after I typed something would add what I typed, and not an autocomplete option. This is especially unintuitive because there's a drop-down of options displayed, and I chose to manually enter my tag - it shouldn't still be selecting a tag from the drop-down.
The problem is also if the tag has something to do with several tags in the autocomplete. Then, I'm forced to navigate all the way down to press the + to manually add the tag I typed in. This is rather cumbersome, and again, unintuitive.
For reference, I'm using Firefox 76.0.1 on a Windows 10 machine, with raindrop 6.0.621.
Would love it if this was fixed! But otherwise, thanks for an amazing app!

I have the same problem. Raindrop will select the first tag
containing
the typed text and not the first tag starting
with the typed text, which was the behavior before the update.Fabien Bernard
And it gets totally worse when the tag I want to add is simply 'C'. That letter is present in quite a few tags on my 3300+ list... I get almost all my tag list in the drop-down list and I have to navigate all the way down using the keyboard
