Basically, it's something that has been "observed to work sort of well". I'm not sure about the "completion" part, but I would imagine that you are talking about something like autocompletion of words or something like that. The reason that these things (such as syntax completion in a software development tool) are considered heuristics is because the authors have basically dreamed up what they thing is the best way to combine input (from the user) and context (provided by the current situation) to generate a list of possibilities.
