Then when you type the next letter, e.g. "b" it would remove any that don't begin with "ab" and try to fill the list again but only up to a maximum of 10.
Maybe referring to it as intellisense is a bad idea, more like Google Suggest or something along those lines (well maybe not like Suggest because that's based on popularity, but you get the idea (i hope )).
Hmmm yeah, that's another nice way of doing it (And it would indeed be more a "Suggest" than a "Intellisense" feature if it went that way). But because of that, personally, I like a "Intellisense" approach better than a "Google Suggest" approach, as the first would be more accurate.
PS: a very simple way to keep on using a "small" window and yet having 200 contacts displayed (for example), is to have a simple scrollbar I guess...
