Slickedit 17 Win7-64x

From the Symbols tool bar -> right click -> Find Tag --

As you type in the symbol(tag) you're looking for the bottom portion of the dialog box fills with potential matches.  I find in SE 17 that many potential matches don't get displayed but will still be found if I fully type out the symbol name then hit OK (This seems to be especially true of new tags added after the initial tag build - but that's just an idle observation)

Anyone else seeing this?

The dialog will truncate search after it finds 200 matches.
Also, I would suggest using the Find Symbol tool window instead of that dialog.

Sorry, that was the tool window -

What I'm seeing is something like -
I have a method called GetAccountsRecv
If I type GetAcc I see a handful of matches-
GetAcceptibleResults
GetAccousticRange
GetAccurateResultsAsOpposedToNonAccurateOnes

But NEVER GetAccountsRecv but if I fully type out GetAccountsRecv and then search, SE will point me right to the declaration.

Do you have the "Prefix" button checked or unchecked?

Prefix match is checked.

The examples I'm checking are class member methods and have various security classifications (IE it's not limited private/protected/public) matches with the autocompletion but if I type the full name and hit enter, I'll get the Select Symbol dialog box with the header/implementation files listed.  The classes themselves don't get autocompleted either but they ARE in the symbol tool windows' treeview under the Classes subsection (along with the methods).
The classes are in the global namespace.
