i’ll try to explain what i’m trying to do, please help.  
i have a dictionary of words and would like to autocomplete as people writes i want to show the alternate word but what i have found lack of discrimination…if i type “ **an** ” in the list i’ll have “ **an** nouncement” and also “atl **an** ta”. there should be a way to limit the words based on the characters coincidents…any help around?
