Steps to reproduce:
1. Open Eclipse Preferences
2. type Favorites in the search field
3. select Java/Editor/Content Assist/Favorites
4. Click New Type button

Expected:
the dialog appearing should suggest entries based on what you have typed -> just like the second dialog does after clicking Browse on the first one

What happens instead:
you have to either copy-paste the fully qualified class name in the text field on the dialog, or click browse and search for the class you need

Note:
If instead of the first dialog you would get directly to the "Browse" dialog, you could still both search or paste a fully qualified name and press Enter/click OK, but with one step (or three clicks) less (in case you don't have the classname on clipboard) than what we have right now.
