[IxDA Discuss] Better name for "Seeking" in lists

[Joseph Dombroski]

Jack,

I like how Mozilla refers to this functionality (and I'm sure I've seen  
it elsewhere) as find-as-you-type [1].  However, if I am trying to  
describe a mechanism that helps fill out a form field, I tend to call  
it autocomplete following Microsoft's lead [2].

In various lists, is there a name for the system behavior in which the  
list automatically scrolls to and highlights the item that begins with  
a letter or letters you type?
Thanks, Jack
