I wish to support the 'search throughout' method. I admit that it took me several seconds to get used to it but it reduces the size of the short list of partial matches very quickly until I can pick the winner very easily. Since I am now expecting it I don't have to type several introductory characters before typing the real meaty characters of my search.
