I don't really see much of a problem with the "Containing" option here. If you
type in, say, "Tur", you would get a list of stuff like "Turkey", "Turkish
March", ... , "Containing Tur". As you arrow down over "Turkey", that text
would be put in the textbox, but "Containing Tur" would stay put and not change
to "Containing Turkey". Then when you arrow down over "Containing Tur", we'd
put "Tur" back into the textbox. This sounds like a perfectly intuitive
workflow to me, and it wouldn't be hard to tweak the code so it works the way I
described.

Another consideration: do we expect that novice users will use the arrow down
key much, if at all? I personally expect most people to just use their mouse
and forget about the arrow keys. Just this weekend, I observed someone trying
to search for "Guy Fawkes movie" by typing "Guy" and clicking the suggestion
for "Guy Fawkes", which to her surprise took her to the Guy Fawkes article,
even though she was already on that page, having gotten there in exactly the
same way. This shows that the behavior of going to the page when clicking a
suggestion is perceived as intuitive or unintuitive depending on what you want
it to do at the time :D but also that Jane Visitor just uses the mouse and
doesn't think about the arrow keys.
