With the 7.5 WUT I am able to type ahead a few characters on a couple of fields, but maybe it's because they have very large menus (over 15,000 items) so the matching is slow enough to take the extra character input - also, they're set to match anywhere (if that's a factor). Other fields only take the first character.
But the same action on the midtier doesn't seem to work the same way - it only matches the first character even on the large menus. (In this case these fields aren't using auto-complete.) David D.
