Odd behaviour in drop-downs

The last couple of days I've noticed some odd behaviour in drop-downs when adding characters, for example today when adding Winston Churchill (which used to be the top suggestion for Winston), it suggests Winston Duarte, Winston Zeddemore, and a host of other Winstons before getting to the one we've all heard of. Not sure if this is a bug or an "improvement".

Picture here https://www.librarything.com/pic/8371245

I can't remember how to make the picture appear here.

>3 bergs47: That message is img src="https://pics.cdn.librarything.com//picsizes/20/6c/206cbfecd19e155637675737941415742564944_v5.jpg" inside pointy brackets.

What I do is go to the picture page and click on the picture, then 'copy' Then in the message I put the bracket, then think IMaGe SouRCe= quotes paste close quotes, close brackets.

How to get the picture URL and not the picture page URL will vary a little according to your system.

In this case, I followed the link in >1 DuncanHill:. If it's one of my pictures I go to my gallery. Your link in >5 bergs47: does not find a valid page.
