I've got a really simple view set up like so: http://drupalbin.com/15392

My goal was to return the title of nodes when supplying a term argument. For example if I had content and terms set up like so:

Node: Item1
-- Terms: Term1, Term2
Node: Item2
-- Terms: Term3
Node: Item3
-- Terms: Term4, Term1

Then supplying an argument of "Term1" to the View returns Item1 and Item3 while supplying "Term3" returns Item2, etc. This all works fine with Views.

I've created a Views finder and set "Find items from this view:" accordingly. I then attempted to set up an autocomplete field to pass the user entered argument to the View. This is possibly where I'm not understanding the process. I've tried setting "Find items by this field:" to Node: Title and while this is returning the node title searching via term isn't work. I've also tried Taxonomy: Term but that was returning terms and not the associated node. I see there are configuration options for Views Arguments, but I can't make any sense of them.

Is what I am trying to do reasonable/possible? Any help?

I think you are confused about how finder works. It does not pass form values as views arguments, so forget about those. When you find items by a field, like terms, then yes.. when you start typing a term into the autocomplete it should show you the terms that match, not the nodes. You have to submit the form to get the nodes.

I think it should go in feature request ...

I started working on a feature where an option would appear for each potential result. It is partially implemented, but there were complications. I can't remember exactly what.
It may be somewhat related to this issue #624120: Redesign choices uniqueness and duplicates

Once that other issue is resolved things like this will be able to be addressed.
