Entering "TO", how do you get all D addresses, not addresses with D in them
Used to be, I started entering an address with D and I got all the ones beginning with D. Now you get all addresses with a D in them, which does not give me what I want. If I start typing an address, I'd like to be prompted for those addresses with those first few letters.

If you open your adressbook there is (advanced) search under a dropdown (Ctrl-Shift-F) there you can use "beginning with..."
could not find drop down in address book
website wouldn't open , unlocking the zip even with the viewer file was impossible
Here in Linux the shortcut to the search function in the Address Book seems to be broken. However the search option is still visible in the Address Book's menu.
No menu? Open the Address Book, hold down the <alt> button on your keyboard, tap E then select Search Addresses.
But given that you were implicitly asking about auto-completion when typing in an address, I doubt this will be particularly useful to you.

Steve, I hadn't realized that MoreFunctions... had that option. Very useful to know, and thank you very much for pointing it out.
The current search using "contains" as opposed to "starts with" seems to annoy a great many users.
Autocomplete in the current Earlybird (TB 37) seems to be somewhat fixed, in that "begins with" results are displayed at the top of the suggestions, but I think this won't appear in the release version until the spring.
Before, or at that time, an updated version of MFFAB will likely appear, since it currently breaks autocomplete in Earlybird.
