autocompletes
Suggests the rest
Autocompletes is the verb form of autocomplete—a software feature that predicts and suggests the rest of a word or phrase as you type.
Search engines autocomplete queries; phones autocomplete text messages.
Google autocompletes "why does my" with surprisingly existential questions.
The feature saves keystrokes but can reveal embarrassing search patterns or insert unwanted suggestions.
