or autocompletion, auto-completion, etc. AutoComplete seems like a Microsoft thing. — Omegatron 02:13, 8 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Verb or noun

I'd like to move Autocomplete (verb) to Autocompletion (noun). I think it makes more sense to describe the function this way. --Uncle Ed 14:15, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree that the noun "autocompletion" be used and not the verb. Kattuub (talk) 21:14, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Spam ?

hm.. the screenshot & utility looks like spam to me. Check the picture description :

Niels Gron, www.AquaFold.com, http://aquafold.com/6.0screens/main-qanalyzer-large.jpg

the named company offers aquafold for $ fee.

[edit] useful article

I found the article to be quite useful. Perhaps it mentions one company or another, but this may be unavoidable. It mentions Microsoft Outlook, but I doubt this is advertisement by Microsoft. It is also important to mention services that are commonly available, even for a fee, as long as it is not disparaging or biased. I do however find a discussion on the limitations of autocomplete lacking. The article mentions the limitations but does not elaborate. Kattuub (talk) 21:11, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editing IE6 autocomplete

Can be done by autowhat (search for autowhat.zip) or "Cooxie toolbar", both freeware. Or, to delete something, highlight it and press Delete. 80.0.103.195 (talk) 23:44, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
