filter dropdown list
I have a list of about 150 names. On a transaction form the user uses a dropdown to select the appropriate name for the transaction. With this many names it is cumbersome to find the correct name.
If a few letters can be entered in the field before clicking on the down arrow then only names containing those letters would show on the list. If an exact match is found then the dropdown list will not show and the focus will go to the next field.
If this is not possible are there other suggestions for improving usability when selecting one item from a large list.
