Hi David,

You /can/ enter id instead of name into autocomplete if that's easier 
for you. For example, instead of type "Topic", you can enter 
"/common/topic"; instead of "Musical Album", you can enter 
"/music/album". Same id trick works for domains (e.g. "/film") and 
topics (e.g. "/en/united_states") as well.
