You may be stuck with whatever the platform provides,
at least to begin with. I prefer to wrap existing
platform functionality if available rather than
inventing something from scratch.

BTW, I don't see how this helps much if you don't know
whether Nevada is spelled "NV" or "Nev", although I
suppose having the list reduce to just the matching
items makes it easier to see what the possibilities
are.
