Tag Proposal in Metadata Editor [solved]
I have a feature request for the metadata editor.

I have a predefined tag "Biography & Autobiography". If I start typing "bio..." I get automatically the proposal "Biography & Autobiography", so I can easily select it for the book.

BUT: if I start typing "auto..." nothing happens....and this is my feature request....getting also proposal for this.

Sorry, I do not know how to describe it better. See attached picture.

Can someone help me? I'm in Preferences->Tweaks->Completion mode.
The help text says
Quote:
ID: completion_mode

By default, when completing items, calibre will show you all the candidates that start with the text you have already typed. You can instead have it show all candidates that contain the text you have already typed. To do this, set completion_mode to 'contains'. For example, if you type asi it will match both Asimov and Quasimodo, whereas the default behavior would match only Asimov.
The "edit tweak box has this:
Quote:
# Completion mode when editing authors/tags/series/etc.

completion_mode = u'prefix'
What exactly should I do?

Should I change
Code:
completion_mode = u'prefix'
to
A.
Code:
completion_mode = u'contains'
or
should i change it to
B.
Code:
completion_mode = 'contains'
UPDATE: I experimented and discovered that the right answer is:

Code:
completion_mode = u'contains'
