I remember in an older "switch-to-buffer" user interface, if I typed a substring of a

one of the choices, even if the substring I entered didn't start at the beginning of the file name. 
 I think that might have been called "iswitchb", but I think that's been deprecated.  In 
the current interface, it lists the buffer names that match the substring, but it appears that all 
I can do at this point is erase what I've entered so far and then enter the string that begins the 
buffer name I want.

Is there any way to get the "old and enhanced" behavior?

You can try icomplete-mode or ido-mode instead.
