--------------------------------------
This information should not get lost, if someone is trying to add this feature
to the PHP language, from the mailing list:
https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/53e825e433962bb9fdc72dea5fe691517f5cd7c887eb365dec496686@%3Cusers.netbeans.apache.org%3E
{quote}You want a 'CompletionProvider', most likely PhpTypeCompletionProvider
(although there are some other subclasses in the php/ folder). You have
Set<String> getItems(FileObject sourceFile, String prefix) where `prefix` is
what the user already typed. Oddly enough I see php defines it's own
org.netbeans.modules.php.spi.templates.completion.CompletionProvider while I
remeber being a common interface, but I'm probably thinking of csl.api
GsfCompletionProvider which was used in the Javascript support. Feel free to
email me directly (or to CC me when writing to the mailing list) I might have
some ideas there. I suspect fuzzy search might not work immediately, as while
the completion popup is shown any further edit will just filter the list (and
not re-generate the list from the provider). But perhaps there is a way for
force refresh that list... Anyhow, start playing with that API and see if you
make progress. --emi{quote}

> I am using the Netbeans 9 beta release (RC2). I needed a method in a
> test-framework, and couldn't remember the exact naming, but only some part of
> it. Netbeans seems only to match the beginning of methods names. I know other
> IDEs can suggest methods based on naming-parts in a method, I think this is
> very useful :)
>
> Update: I added example (attachments) of usage from another IDE, for
> inspiration
