Abstract
An auto-complete controller monitors a window including an auto-complete box for at least one content element of the window. Responsive to detecting the user selection to fill in the auto-complete box, the auto-complete controller accesses a list of selectable entries for filling in the auto-complete box. In addition, the auto-complete controller accesses at least one rule specifying order of the list of selectable entries based on a detected content element. The auto-complete controller reorders the list of selectable entries for output in association with the auto-complete box with a most likely candidate listed first based on the rule specifying order of the list of selectable entries based on the detected content element.
