Family Tree Maker Entering Tip

I don't know why I never noticed this before, I guess I am just too fast of a typist.

Anyway, I know as you enter a location, you'll notice that a list of possible matches appears. To use a suggested location, I just click it.

However, if you just type the first three characters of a location you have used previously, (JUST THREE). I find that my desired location is near the top of the suggested locations. If I type more than three, it goes back to the drawing board and I need to type in more characters just to get back to my desired location.
Three letters typed = The first choice is my desired location
Four letters typed = lost my desired location and must type more
Five letters typed = on this location, my desired location reappeared after the five letter
Lesson learned: I need to slow down and let the computer program do the hard work, I can type less.
