I think I understand your point now.

If you want to see the substring you enter in the search field as the
initial one, you can use the "%" metacharacter at the end of the string.
AFAIK, this works on the filter, not on the autocompletion.

So, for your specific search, take a look at the screenshot link I just
took.

This will show only the conditions that start with the substring you
want, and get a closer best match.

Let me know if it worked for you.

Yes! That's exactly what I was looking for. Can we have it on auto-completion? I think it is related with the ordering/sorting of the search result. Perhaps the current ordering of diseases search results is on ICD-Code or Disease Name.
