Full Name field left blank on the main page results in server loading forever about wikicontrib HOT 6 CLOSED

@ggangix thanks for your interest, I've assigned the issue to you :)

from wikicontrib.

@srish and @ggangix fullname is the required field. The main search input searches for the full name. This API is used to search the users. It require fullname as a parameter.

I guess showing an error when full name is not provided would be fine.

I would like to solve this issue.

Looks like the Full Name is a required field, could we show an error message to the user or if the user doesn't fill the field we can use one of the other two fields as a full name.

What do you think @srish ?

@ggangix I think the first part could be to investigate if we require a full name in any of the queries. My sense is not, but maybe just double check on that.
If we really need a full name, then showing an error would make sense; if not, then just like when a user does not provide Gerrit username, and we let them proceed, in a similar way here as well, we keep the same flow.
