Is there any way to have a term reference autocomplete field search other fields than just the title? In my case I have a organizations vocabulary with the taxonomy name and an acronym. The main point of adding an acronym field is to stop users from putting in the acronym in place of the full organization name.
If I turned it into an entity reference field would, the autocomplete widget type allow me to do this?
As far as I've been able to determine, there is no way to modify what autocomplete searches in a term reference field, though if seems possible, even likely that there might be a module or hook that does this, I didn't find it.
To answer my second question, yes, making this an entity reference enables the use of views to power the autocomplete, at which point you can handle the formatting and search fields of the autocomplete.
Better answers on this are very welcome!
