NetBeans IDE autocomplete 'contains'

Question

Does anybody know if there is a way to get NetBeans code autocomplete to filter by 'contains' rather than 'starts with'.

E.g. MyClass has getBlaBla(), setBlaBla() and someOtherBlaBla()

I want to be able to say MyClass.BlaBla and for the code completion to suggest all three of the method names above. Would be really useful for when you dont quite remember what the method name was but know it contains that word.

Answer 1

For future reference, this is implemented since NetBeans 7.4 and can be enabled in the options:

1. In the menu bar click Tools -> Options
2. In the Options window open the Editor section and then click on the Code Completion tab
3. Tick the checkbox Subword completion

For Netbeans 8.0.2:

1. Under Preferences-> Editor tab -> Code completion tab
2. Change the Language drop down menu option from All Languages to Java
3. Tick the checkbox Subword completion

This is a really handy option :)
