On the M2O fields, each time you type a character, the system looks
directly for substrings, showing you the first occurrences on the
model. 

It would be nice to have the ability of turning off or changing the
default behaviour of the auto-completion feature on Many2One fields, by
using an escape character at the beginning in the same m2o field,
without the need to open a search window. 


All the best
