Because the typeahead.js list items are currently just text, a user's
full name and avatar should be displayed in `input_pill`. To use
`input_pill`, a separate Handlebars partial view was created to
provide a mandatory container (`<div class="pill-container">`) for
`input_pill` and a flex container (`<div class="search_list_item">`)
for vertically aligning the text.
The description of each suggestion (i.e `description_html`) is
rendered as raw HTML, so every special character (e.g. whitespace)
should be HTML-escaped. This enables highlighting the substring in
each search suggestion that matches the query.
Fixes: #20267
When we were preparing the conversion to ES modules in 2019, the
primary obstacle was that the Node tests extensively relied on the
ability to reach into modules and mutate their CommonJS exports in
order to mock things. ES module bindings are not mutable, so in
commit 173c9cee42 we added
babel-plugin-rewire-ts as a kludgy transpilation-based workaround for
this to unblock the conversion.
However, babel-plugin-rewire-ts is slow, buggy, nonstandard,
confusing, and unmaintained. It’s incompatible with running our ES
modules as native ES modules, and prevents us from taking advantage of
modern tools for ES modules. So we want to excise all use of
__Rewire__ (and the disallow_rewire, override_rewire helper functions
that rely on it) from the tests and remove babel-plugin-rewire-ts.
Commits 64abdc199e and
e17ba5260a (#20730) prepared for this by
letting us see where __Rewire__ is being used. Now we go through and
remove most of the uses that are easy to remove without modifying the
production code at all.

This increases consistency and saves a bit of code, but more
importantly, it makes it much easier to switch between these APIs
while refactoring tests.
