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

[Cale Peeples]

I've used both "Type ahead" and "Auto Complete" to describe this
scenario. 

Lately, I've encountered some confusion with the "Auto Complete" and the
browser version of auto complete - so I stick with "Type Ahead" now.

"Auto Complete" makes sense to me.

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
