* org-cite-insert only searches on truncate author list

Hello all,

Using org-cite-insert with vertico, matching is done only on the text
that the completion engine shows, text which has been truncated.  See
attached screenshot.  If I continue typing the second authors name,
Oluwamayowa, the second entry currently shown will disappear from the
options.  This is even more annoying when I am trying to search based
on, say, the third author of a paper whose name doesn't even appear in
this truncated table of completions.

I assume that, maybe, this is not org's fault but this kind of problem
only arises when using org-cite-insert so I was wondering if indeed
there is something I can tweak in org or oc- to get better completion
behaviour?  Or maybe something I can specify for vertico?

Note, with emacs -Q, the problem does not arise because the default
completion engine only allows completing based on the start of the entry
anyway.

Thank you,
eric

org-cite-insert simply calls whatever is provided by the citation
backend you use. Please tell us which oc-*.el backend is creating the
problem.

Maybe I'm doing something wrong somewhere because whether I try basic,
biblatex, or csl, they appear the same in terms of selection interface.
Maybe it's something in vertico although I cannot see what it would be.

In oc-basic, there is `org-cite-basic-author-column-end' and it indeed
truncates the match.

oc-csl and oc-biblatex do not specify insert processor and thus the
default is used (from oc-basic).

So, I confirm the bug.

Eric, as temporary workaround, you can try to increase
`org-cite-basic-author-column-end'. Note that completion might look ugly
though.

One needs to rewrite `org-cite-basic--complete-key' adding 'annotation
function to `completing-read' call instead of passing the truncated
author/title list as completion table. See 21.6.7 Programmed Completion
section of Elisp manual.
https://github.com/alphapapa/org-ql/blob/master/org-ql-completing-read.el
also contains an example of implementing the annotations.

Patches welcome!

Ah, interesting.  I had to restart Emacs (:-O) to get it to take effect
but it now works perfectly.  Thank you!

It doesn't look ugly as I have a very wide monitor and although I tend
to write prose in a frame with >170 columns (typically split in two or
three windows), the minibuffer is full width so plenty of room for full
author list along with year and title.

I'll add this to my list of possible things to do on org: ever growing,
including ox-beamer and a few other things.  Once my (paid ;-)) work
(teaching etc.) load lightens up hopefully, if ever...

Thanks again,
eric
