Another thing to try is to take a look at the autocompleter parameters. There is one which allows you to tokenize the completion (split the lookup on word spaces or commas or whatever). So if you typed 'smith', and didn't see the name you want listed, you could continue on to type 'smith t' and find Tom Smith. If you do the former, it's important to add some explanation to the results, like "Only the first 20 matches will be shown" or similar.
