[Qt-interest] qcompleter - a more efficient matching

[cb]

I also want to match items using the "contains" paradigm instead of matching 
by prefix. I thought that I should somehow do my filtering before the 
completer kicks in and limit my model to the items that match according to 
my matching algorithm. But then the completer tries to match by prefix. I 
could trick it and populate the column mapped to the edit role to the prefix 
value.

Would that work? Come on boffins let's get this sorted!!
