I think the problem may be with the speed that the comparisons are made.
If I type as fast as I can, I can get to the correct Number. If I pause for
very long (1/2 sec ??? ) during the typing it will stall out at the last match.
I am not sure if there are any settings for the keyboard (like typematic rate)
that would help any. Since most part numbers (at least the ones I use) are
in sequence this may be a real problem.
Ex.
323-1234-001
323-1234-002
It would be very difficult for me to get to the -002
I can type 30 wpm but the words are gibberish !!
