Popups will permit a sequential search, the first few letter of the
item to find.
However, it works when the letter are typed in a regularly paced
timing. Typing a letter, waiting, then typing another, will cause each
letter to be the beginning of the search.
Try typing two or three letters at a regular pace. Avoid delays between
the characters. This will work...just takes a little practice...very
little.
Best...
