Disable default find-market search instead of OPEN

[litepresence]

This would eliminate the behavior of reference UI pointing at defunct OPEN markets and make the default behavior gateway UIA and smartcoin MPA agnostic by pointing towards all Bitcoin markets.

I also suggest it be implemented in conjunction with:

Use BTS as find market basic pair by froooze · Pull Request #3191

So that then BTS is the default primary search token and all Bitcoin markets which pair to BTS are shown by default.

How about not loading anything per default unless user types the quote asset?

This would also be satisfactory.

I'm of the opinion that BTC would create more user interest by pulling up all the major UIA'a and MPA's which offer bitcoin. In essence it gives every subproject with a BTC offering (the most common) a slice of advertising space ranked by volume. Keeping with BTC would result in a list of the most noteworthy projects on the DEX:

bitBTC
gdexBTC
rudexBTC
xbtsxBTC
deexBTC
openBTC
bridgeBTC

Something I don't understand... even if BTC is placed as the search criteria, the HONEST project I'm working on does not come up unless you specifically search for it. Why is this?

After having searched for "HONEST" once then typing "BTC" shows it. Must be an issue in the lazy asset loading

Looking at the list of responses for BTC I am not sure if that is better than nothing :)

correct.

if you open the UI and type BTC, then HONEST.BTC does NOT appear

but if you search once for HONEST
...and then subsequently search for BTC
on the second search HONEST.BTC does appear.

Which is less than helpful in terms of making users aware of nascent markets; the lay user must already know about the nascent market - even if it has more volume than incumbent markets - before the UI informs them of it. Seems counter productive.

I could be so compelled. I agree with your initial response that, if not BTC, then as a baseline, "nothing" would be better than OPEN.

I think no search input is the best
