So you just have HG> to press Enter most of the time, because the "best" match is listed first. This seems to be more difficult to implement than Robo Cernansky's ideas (and the ones in my reply to him) and I'm not sure it will really work better as any algorithms trying to understand what the human really meant have a nice propriety to fail in some weird ways constantly. So I'd rather let the user specify the order in which he wants the expansions to be himself or, ideally, automatically adjust this order by moving the expansions used more often to the top.
