Some person (who should know better by now) posted this question:

I have a .txt file that is a list of items.
I want to put this list into a field on a card when the card is opened and as characters are typed into a search field only items in the .txt file that match are shown.
What I mean is that If the first character I type in is a "P" then only lines beginning with "P" are displayed in the List. Then if I type in an "o" only items beginning with "Po" are displayed.
I know this can be done but I don't know how.
Thanks

I have just "had a go" with this, mainly as is is easy-peasy-pips and should be part of any semi-conscious programmer's arsenal:

There are probably a good dozen ways to do this: but, as per Sid Vicious: https://youtu.be/rDyb_alTkMQ

I use a similar thing in the stack dictionary search field.
I also use a similar idea in the preferences > debug properties (the search box there).
