Hello, is it possible for Outlook to find contacts based on just the very first letter of the address? For instance, when I type "john" and hit enter, should it show me John White from gmail.com instead of prompting me to add more letters like "whit"? Or if I start typing with a "g", shouldn't it suggest Gmail immediately without asking me for other parts of the name? Currently, only if I press enter on the first letter does it work, but what happens if I type more?

That's just how things are meant to go and nothing else can happen.
