| AutoComplete is a feature found in various software programs that helps the user complete typing by completing text that has already been typed in the same area before. An example of this feature can be found in Microsoft Internet Explorer browser. When typing an Internet address that has already been visited, the user will see the completed versions of the typed text below and can simply press the down arrow key and select that text without having to finish typing. In addition to AutoComplete giving a user a list to select from like the example listed above other programs have "inline AutoComplete" which selects the best possible match and highlights the text, if the user continues to type the suggestions will change and if a match is found
the user can simply press enter. A good example of inline AutoComplete can be seen on Google Suggest.
