It would be great to have completion enabled in the "work with" drop down in the Available Software dialog.
Created attachment 128204 [details] screenshot This is what I get when I type "all available software" (note the case)
marking 3.5 to keep on radar, that would be nice.
The string I typed in seems to be remembered as a repository or something and I get repository errors with "all%20"available%20software" as the repository name :)
yep, it assumed you were adding a site... you can delete it from the pref page to stop the errors (though I would expect you only got one error?)

I get that one error every time I open the dialog or try to do an operation (I think ... it's hard to remember exactly when I've gotten it).
fixed in HEAD >20090319. First try was with out of the box JFace AutoCompleteField but there were too many oddities with combo boxes. Opened bug 269426. Lucky for you it didn't work, because once I had to crack it open, I figured I may as well give you the wild card pattern matching, etc... Had to copy the platform UI string matcher to get that working. Opened bug 269424. So now you can type part of a site name or location and get pattern matching in the autocomplete. And because '*' is ignored by the pattern matcher, the special entry in the combos are now shown as --All Available Sites-- --Local Sites Only-- So that you can pattern match on '-' to find those. I'll await the bug for bolding the partial matches in the combo box like Firefox does ;-)

Awesome, sounds good!
