No. Taking your example:

    A
1   Ox
2   Office

In cell A3, type-in "O" (without quotation marks) and (with the newer bash-like
auto-complete) you will find _no_ suggestion (yet). Now add one more letter,
"Of" (without quotation marks), and you will get the first suggestion.

IOW, to be able to get some auto-complete suggestion, the typed-in characters
must offer some kind of uniqueness while they must match a prior entry in the
same (data) column. If the already typed-in characters are equal to one unique
(prior) value (in the column), then the full-cell content suggestion is offered
to the user for auto-complete. Using "bash-like" methods, you could have
part-cell content suggestions.

As many users mentioned before, the new algorithm is not better. But since this
report is closed now and the bash-like behavior has been implemented for
several versions by now, there is no point on continuing adding comments here.

If you need assistance with this behavior, or alternative methods for
introducing (repeating) values/data, I would suggest first carefully reading
the related reports (such as bug 142214 and others "see also" reports), and
then you might want to open a new topic on <https://ask.libreoffice.org>. If
all that is not enough, you might want to open a new enhancement request
report.
