Netflix Adds Auto-Complete to Search
Netflix added auto-complete to search last night, and I found it was really useful in finding movies when I didn't know how to spell the name.
What do you think of the new feature?

There's no doubt it's a useful feature, but I think it should be called 'NetFlix suggest'.
Auto-complete is something different - when you type the start of something that uniquely matches an item in a dropdown and no other entry is possible.

I think it's great; thanks for taking the time out of your schedule to make the video demonstration!

Geez I'm getting old. Being a hunt-and-peck typist seldom take my eyes off the keyboard when entering data and hadn't even noticed that new feature! Thanks for telling us (me).
