--- Comment #4 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
I'd forgotten about the .uno:DataSelect (<Alt>=<Down> shortcut) improvements
suggested in bug 133494, work on that framework would be appropriate for the
ask here.

Bug 142214 got off track and discussion there of not sectioning the searched
ranges are not helpful to this ask for completion against partial string match
in any position.

Thusfar the .uno:DataSelect provides *only* the full listbox of previous column
entries without any filtering. Also does not seem to provide for searching
cells by row.

For Columns, what is needed is for user to make some entry into the target
cell, using that in the UNO as the string to match on previous cell
values--regardless of position in cell(s)--and filter the listbox choices
accordingly. 

@Kendy?
