It would be great to be able to set Path-Auto to use some number of whole words from a a node title in generating a URL. This way, a URL could be relatively short but not contain any truncated words.

The URLS at the Onion seem to work something like this, for example.

Hi cygrapher. Thanks for the feature request. I believe this is a duplicate of #269929: Break URLs at separator character and remove the separator (I just added your idea to that issue this morning, so your mention in the forum was the basis for me adding it).

Thanks again for submitting the issue.
